It was time. I've been meaning to get new running shoes but haven't taken the time to go out and look. Well, with all the running I've been doing lately I just couldn't ignore it anymore. Shin splints are no fun and I've been battling them. Nothing makes you NOT want to run more than when you're dealing with pain. Obviously there is a certain amount of discomfort that is normal while running, what I've been experiencing is normal plus some extra for good measure :)
So, today I got new shoes. Yeah! I am even tempted to go for a second run, just so I can try them out. I won't though because it's 103 freakin' degrees outside and that would be NUTS!!! However, I am excited to see how they perform during tomorrow nights' run.
On a side note, for anyone interested, I ran approx. 8 miles this morning (in 1:23). This is the farthest distance I've attempted to date, and I am pleased to report that I felt super when I got done. I definitely think I'll be ready by Aug. 8th for the half marathon. Look out world, I'm on a roll...

That's awesome!! Though I might recommend that you do your 4 mile run in your first time in your new shoes, you don't want blisters on top of it. I know, probably rolling your eyes saying bossy big sis, LOL! ;) I hope that the new shoes gives an extra push.
*Eye Roll* :) Good thinking sis, glad I thought of it first...LOL;) Tomorrow(Mon) is "scheduled" 4 mile run, so I can break them in a little before I go for the 8 miler on Sunday...might even shoot for a 10 miler.
Go Tiff!!!
