Training buddy
My training buddy needed some new kicks as his old ones were deemed ready for the garbage by his mother due to a combination of having a foul odor and the fact they were falling apart, sooooooo, I took him to a new running shop in town that does gait analysis and got him checked out. As I suspected, he's a pronator. We got him set up with some new size 9's and are now ready to begin training for a race. We picked up a couple of flyers on upcoming events and will be putting one on the calender soon. We are thinking of a 5k to start out with and go from there. Who knows, if all goes well, we could be talking River Run 15k by this time next year!!! I am just looking forward to all the training we will do together!!!

I can think of no better training partner!
ReplyDeleteThat process looks more sophisticated than the "wet footprints on a newspaper" method I have used. Where is that?
Yeah, way better than the old newspaper trick. Capital City Runners is a great new locally owned shop right next to Red Elephant in mid town.
