I got my new trainers tonight! And they fit B-E-A-UTIFULLY! WOW. I put them on and I could not get over how good they feel. Plenty of room.
Now they're unusual for me. They are size 11.5 and Narrow. I normally wear size 11, normal width in Ascis but I guess Nike is different. I was afraid with them being Narrow that I was gonna notice it and feel it but alas, I didn't! YAY! I didn't get on their treadmill but tomorrow I'm going to give them a spin. Best news is that since they're Nike's they have the Nike+ built right into it so I can slip my sensor right in the shoe! Not it really does any good, the calibration is off but once I can run outside again, I'll recalibrate it with my Garmin to match up. I own the Nike+, I might as well use it.
I need to get going on the long runs again. Soooo... I'm hoping to go to the Y tomorrow morning and get my run on. A long run on. I plan on going early and being honest with the people behind the desk in the workout room. That I would like to get at least 6 miles in. That's 1 hour of running. That's my goal but more would be best; maximum of 10. I will leave if I need to, as in if all the rest of the treadmills are full but otherwise I'll just stay until I get kicked off.
Anyway, after I got the shoes (which by the way were FREE!! thanks to a gift certificate from a raffle at a local race), I decided to run to Dick's Sporting Goods and buy new running clothes. I have decided that I needed new shorts mainly since the elastic in the liners of my current shorts are losing well, they elasticity. Not fun trying to not get a wedgie while you're running. All the clothes I bought were on Clearance. 2 Reebok shorts, a Nike Tempo short & a match shirt. I have the same Nike outfit but in pink and I like the feel & texture of them so much that I wanted them again. Wasn't that much of savings however. I plan on wearing the black shorts tomorrow to test them out.
But I'm excited about my run tomorrow. In fact, I think I'm gonna hit the bed now and read a little bit more of Once A Runner by John L. Parker and get up early for a long run on the treadmill. Windchill advisory tomorrow.
