Run With Me #13 ~ New Shoes Day!
New Shoes Day!
I love new running shoes! Of course I get the same brand and model each time and always hope that in the newest version nothing has been changed!
Mizuno is my shoe, specifically the Mizuno Wave Riders. I’ve been wearing what ever version of these that are out since I first started running with the exception of the 17s. Mizuno made some mistakes with that one and they weren’t even close to the same shoe. Don’t you just hate that?!? They’ve been getting it right and making this runner a very happy runner indeed!
Even though it’s New Shoe Day I didn’t get to run in my new shoes today. I did run as I do mostish days and here’s a recap of how it went!
My running partner and I headed out to run at 9am it was already warm and humid. 97% Humidity and no, it wasn’t raining...not even mist. The air was so heavy that it felt like running through soup! I know the rest of the nation and world has WAY worse weather problems than I do so I’m really just pissing and moaning.
We kept it nice and easy and managed to get 4 miles in. I hope to everything that everyone else believes in that it’s cooler by the 10 miler race on the 22nd! It’s normally perfect running weather in Atlanta right now.
Even the Halloween yard art couldn’t keep upright today!
You know @bedoodle that I am an absolutely fan of Mizuno Rider! I'm not using any other running shoes since I tried a pair of rider 18 three years ago to recover from Plantar Fascitiis.
I run everything with them, 5k, 10k half and marathon. They are simply perfect. They are comfortable and at the same time enough reactives to run very, very fast... with a lot of stability and protection.
Though I have already 7 pairs of rider 18, 19 and 20 the last 3 years.
I only use other shoes, Mizuno Mujin, for outdoor / trail runs and races.
I'm a Mizuno lover.
Keep on running!
Same. Training runs to marathons they are my favorite. One day maybe even an ultra!
Wow, I am also a user of Mizuno Wave Rider ! I am so happy to hear that you love Wave Rider just like me.
They are the best! Except for the 17s...those were garbage. 🙂
Nice run in the humidity. I'll eventually find another brand of shoe, maybe Mizuno's? I've tried Brooks, Asics, Newbalance and Saucony. Ran 3.5 miles this afternoon as well.
If you’ve already tried all the others give Mizuno a shot and make sure you go up a half size in your running shoes than you wear in everyday shoes. Do you know if you roll your ankles in or out when you run or how your foot strikes the ground? If your a pretty neutral with your ankles and strike mid footish...i would try the Wave Riders 🙂
I land mid foot and have a regular arch, so a neutral shoe is what I look for. My brother has a Mizuno walking shoe, so I'll try it on for sizing. I'm generally a 9.5, so I may go with a 10.
Good luck! I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised!
What a fine fellow you are !!!!! running is very useful for health. in Israel, many are engaged in jogging or walking. there are special tracks allocated for this. I'm lazy ... I used to do Pilates before, I have to start doing it again. super sneakers !!!!!
That’s really cool that there’s a designated area! I like Pilates ok but Yoga make me feel more relaxed.
