Majic Shoes

I hate to get new running shoes because I never know if they will fit right until I run in them and by that point it's too late to return them. A few weeks ago I bought a new pair hastily and I didn't like the way they fit, but they were really cheap so I decided to try them out anyway. I got on the treadmill expecting a blister filled run but 6.2 miles and 46.33 minutes later I survived. Feeling pretty well I might add. I don't beleive I was built to run. I don't really consider myself to be a runner. I've never really been very good at it, but I do it because it makes me feel good in a lot of ways. I just had to pat myself on the back a little because it's taken me 4 years to get past the 48 minute 10K and it was a nice accomplishment. Even if I am the only one who gets to benefit, I feel happy about it.
