Sore feet
Since my last post I have two runs to report.
I went out on Monday for my postponed long run completing 17km in 1:31:00. I didn't really have the motivation for this run but I knew I would regret it later if I didn't go. I filled my Fueltbelt with water, house keys and a turned off mobile phone. The Fuelbelt has been the one of my better, eBay running related purchases. Being school holidays there was a lot of people out using the walking path and I started feeling positive about my decision to get out on such a beautiful winters day. From the 9km to the 15km mark I could feel a second wind come on and my strides become longer. Now I was really enjoying myself. The last 2km's involves a small hill and I was happy to get back home.
My second run was yesterday when Oscar and I did a quick 5km run around the block. We arrived back home in a blistering 0:23:57. An average of 4:47 a km.
Today I have a 10km run programmed in but I have to get a annoying chore called "go to work" out of the way first.
After both runs this week my feet hurt a little with a bit of muscle tiredness in my legs, but this is no surprise. My Asics Kayanos are well past their replacement date with 829km on the clock. Last payday I had the choice of the Forerunner 305 on special ($73 cheaper that prosportwatches.com. Thanks for the question blkbox) or new shoes. As posted I chose the Garmin so the shoes have to wait till pay day next week. I believe I am a neutral to moderate pronator and wonder if my feet actually need such a motion control shoe as the Kayano's. I'm planning a trip to Active Feet for a second, more experienced opinion. I would love to hear any feedback from readers who have shopped at Active Feet before.

I've bought two pairs of shoes from ActiveFeet in Heathmont. Highly recommend them.
Take the Kayanos with you.
You pay full RRP for your shoes, but the advice is free ("priceless").
My best buy is Garmin and my camel pack. It should be that hydrate is a basic. Now I wonder if I should once try the belt, but still, drinking from a straw is easier than from the bottle.
Nice you will have new shoes, just in time!!
You need to teach Oscar now to knead away at your sore spots...Molly has it down...works wonders.
As louise says: Take your old shoes with you.
Does Oscar get something too?
Active Feet seems to be the place to go at the moment doesn't it!!
Might mozy on down there myself soon!
I love my fuelbelt. I'm now wearing it on shorter runs simply to hold my phone / camera / radio. Don't take water on shorter runs though.
Thank goodness for my fuel belt I enjoy my long runs more now.
