Shoe selection! This is on my mind a lot lately... with my upcoming 50-miler. Like most runners, I have a closet lined with running shoes. I joke that I have ONE cheap pair of dress shoes and the rest are for running/crossfit. ((Showing you where my priorities are)). A few custom/hand made shoe companies are popping up lately and I think it's a good thing! The moccasins pictured to the right are the second such pair that carried a runner through 100-mile ultra. My 50-miler is pretty technical at the beginning- i'd thought maybe two-different pairs of shoes, but maybe i should commit. Story here. Shoes here.Dedicated to the way we're supposed to run. Let's balance diet, technique, training, recovery, and fun!
