Saralyn's Journal, 15 Feb 11

I got some new running shoes last weekend. I've been very interested in Chi Running lately and these shoes are supposed to guide you to that style of running.

I tried them on the treadmill yesterday because I still don't want to get them dirty and keep them returnable if I decide they aren't for me. The website told me that there is a transition period and that for your first couple of runs not to run more than a mile. Well, I ran my mile yesterday and ouch. They train you to run more on your mid/fore foot and my calves currently feel like they are on fire. I feel like I was tiptoeing through squishy sand for hours yesterday.

I think I'm going to like the shoes though, I just think it might be a little difficult to train my body to instinctively run differently.

They are some good looking shoes though
