In Which: I have happy feet

As promised, Scott and I went shoe shopping today to replace my tired old running shoes that I have had for too long, and which  were the cause of painfully pulled calf muscles earlier this month. 

Look at these beauties!!!

I have a new favorite shoe brand!!!

Here is a shameless plug for my new favorite shoes: Brooks. I had never heard of them before, but as someone with high arches and flexible ankles, I need a very particular type of arch support to help me run properly, and without injuring myself. Of all the shoes I tried, NONE even came close to the feeling of these shoes. The arch is high, and the soles have great cushion and structure, while they are still classified as a lightweight shoe. They cinch up around my narrow feet and make them look cute and small (which is a plus for me--Scott didn't understand that one).

In short, they are perfect. Hopefully they are $100 worth of perfection. Expensive, but I definitely plan on running my money's worth out of these shoes!!
