New Shoes!

I ran for the first time in my new pair of shoes last night, and I'm really happy with them.  I expected to walk in and buy another pair of either Asics or Brooks Adrenaline shoes (I've worn about 6 or 7 pair of them).  Turns out, after going through a thorough gait analysis at the store and trying on about a half-dozen pair, I chose a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire shoes.

I had been wearing Brooks because they are great motion control shoes.  Turns out I don't pronate as much as I thought, plus I've lost a little weight over the past few years.  The Mizuno shoes do provide a moderate amount of support, but they do not have as much material as the Brooks.  Translation = less bulk, less weight.  I barely noticed they were there, which is how you want shoes to feel... especially on the first run.
