Pure Cadence= Pure happiness

Tomorrow we pick up our new couch and Wednesday I pick up my new running shoes.. Which am I happier about? The answer= the one I am devoting an entire blog post to. :) Last week I convinced B to do a run with me (not that he needs convincing to run, he just needs convincing to run with me, super slow, whilst I bitch the whole time :)....). He noticed my stride, as people do when they run behind ya, and he swears he has figured out my IT Band issues as well as the foot pain that is located close to the sesamoid bone. I overpronate and I overpronate bad! So we went to our local running store and I tried on the Brooks PureCadence. They didn't have my size in the color I want so they are ordering and they should be here by Wednesday. I am really hoping that this super new fun piece of running equipment will make me stop running like a wimp but we all know better.

I can't wait to put some miles on these suckers. They are a minimalist show without being totally minimal, think Vibrams. B really wants me to get some vibrams and slowly work myself into running in solely in those but not too sure. We'll start with these and see how it goes. Anyways- these are way cuter than five finger shoes...

Anybody run in these? What about Vibrams??

  1. Hi Sarah! I have a pair and loved them. They have been very good to me. I am now running in the Brook's Trace, but my training is a bit different now. I hope you love them!!
