I think so. They were really comfy.
They are having a shoe sale this weekend in the other city. So I still have time to exchange them .. this running store gives you a week.
but these are new balance 760 stability shoes.

myka--BUMMER!!! ITBS is no fun! Are you able to do anything yet? When can you start c25k again? I'm assuming you will be fit with proper shoes...

myka if your ankles are turning you have the wrong shoes. The girl at the running store just switched me over to a new brand..
The shoes that I was using were old (GTS 7's -- I got them on clearance, the first ones that I got at the running store where they did a gait analysis); I had just bought new ones literally the day before it really flared up. This was a very good thing because I could wear the new shoes while I healed up.
HC, I haven't done much of anything for the past month other than the normal walking that just happens in life. I went for a 2-mile walk this evening just to see how it goes. My friend who is a PT said to try some cross training, but I haven't really done much of that cause I really don't like my bike.

myka--sounds like your injury wsa building. A7's are pretty old now. I'm test wearing 11's. But, sounds like you are on the road to recovery! Walkign 2miles is certainly a good start! You might ask your PT friend for some IT stretches.

It sounds like my kind of luck which is why I keep a gym membership or else I'd just sit and watch TV
New shoes seem ok.

Yep... Heat advisory for Saturday, which of course is my long run. Heat advisory today, too. I got out for my 6mile run early and it wasn't too bad.

ames--GREAT JOB!!!
Long run this morning. Only made it 9miles and walked the last 2. Just too hot! Dumb move of the day (or year!!!) My new shoes just weren't doing it this morning. Even though they are only a week or so old, they felt totally dead, ready to be replaced. When I got home, I realized why. I had gotten dressed in the dark and accidentally wore a pair of retired shoes!

Funny story: last week when I picked up my race bag it included the following:
some expired coupons (expired in June)
a coupon for Dick's apparel that excludes: Under Armour, North Face, Nike, Livestrong, Dri-fit, Sphere, Pro, Addidas, Clima 365, Burton, and "some additional exclusions may apply". So, what apparel does that leave I wonder.....
Just though those were funny.

That is funny! Ha ha!
The race I just ran this weekend gave us samples of colon cleansing pills in our race bag. We got a good chuckle out of that.

Today was awesome! I can do 90 degrees if the humidity is low, which it was today. Except there's this one place where I have to turn the corner around a building and I'm always afraid I'm going to run into someone and today I nearly did! I literally threw my hand against the wall to propel myself away from him. Then we both said sorry sorry and I kept going. I was halfway afraid I hurt my hand or wrist, but it seems fine.
Also there were lots and lots of film trucks, but I didn't see anyone famous. I never do.

<--me burning up in the heat
So I consider it a success! When I first started running in May, this was the event I was focused on training for. But at that time I was signed up for the two mile instead of the five mile. So yay! 
Then I have 11 miles on Saturday and the weather is looking a lot cooler and drier! Is everyone else getting a break from the heat?
