And so it begins...
My gait was analyzed on Saturday (they put you in a pair of running shoes that give no support and have you run while they watch) and I'm apparently quite the overpronater! Victoria tried vigorously to conceal her pity ("80% of all runners are a little overpronated..."), but I could tell she wanted nothing more but to give me a big hug, lol. Seriously, though, I got a great deal on a pair of anti-overpronation running shoes that feel pretty fantastic (I sampled several pair: Asics, Brooks, Saucony, New Balance and preferred the Brooks.) Now, I gotta get outfitted with all my moisture wicking running gear. I was opting for apparel of the non-jewels-revealing variety until I stumbled across this high-tech hotness. Sausage casing par excellence for the conscientious runner. So, when I wear these, my "body becomes a more efficient machine..." Alrighty, then...sold. lol. But I'm going to cover them with these so I don't look like a TOTAL dork...
The Chicago Endurance Sports half-marathon training program begins in about a month, so I have a little time to pre-condition my body. Holy crap...I'm actually kinda excited.
