New Shoes

I finally did something about a nagging achilles issue that I've had for a couple of weeks and some hip pain I'm starting to experience. Both are on the right side. I lost track of mileage per shoe, but I figure all three pair are long past their prime. I started favoring the PI Shines at the start of summer because they had the fewest miles on them, but, they're all about even now. I promise to do a better job of tracking the miles. I've started logging my runs on logmyrun.com and it has a feature that lets you track your shoe mileage.

Here's what I got:

Another pair of Pearl Izumi Syncrofloats 2. They are orange. I know. No comments, please.

And for something completely different, Brooks Glycerin 5. I wanted to try something other than the Pearl Izumis and the Brooks felt like they were part of my foot when I ran in them.

I also called the podiatrist and made an appointment to have my orthotics adjusted. They've always been a little short for my shoes and I get blisters where there is a gap. Time to remedy that situation!
