Day 104 | I Need New Running Shoes


Lately my knees have been hurting.  I have never had knee issues before and I’m not doing anything different or unusual.  We do lots of squats in my circuit training class, but I am super careful to keep my knees behind my ankles so not to injure my knees.

I don’t know how to tell when to buy new running shoes, but I have decided that my shoes must be worn out.  I cannot remember when I bought them, they must be several years old.

I have never taken buying running shoes very seriously because I used to be more of a casual jogger.  Now that I’m running regularly and pile up the miles, I think I need to get a good pair of running shoes that are appropriate for me.

I’m going to go to a local running store to see if they can help me pick a new pair of shoes.  I’m confident that my knee pain will subside almost instantly once I have new shoes.

I like the K-Swiss Tubes. They look comfy, but I haven’t tried them yet. I know that Jillian Michaels has been endorsing them for years without having been paid to do so. Although she did just sign a deal with them finally.

I will post again once I have my new shoes. Let me know in the comments what brand you like, and why.
