I hope you're not planning on wearing your new shoes for the marathon? That could be bad news.

They're already broken in pretty well and I add another 6 miles today and a short run on Friday, they'll be fine. That's why I got them early.

I would recommend going to a running store. Example Fleet Feet. Have them messure your foot and find a pair of running shoes that are comfterable. Everyone has their preferance to what kind of shoes feel the best. I have ran in Adidas, Nike, and I have a pair of Brooks now. They all worked well for my type of foot. Reebok and New Balance generally don't work for me but there are people who love them.

Good luck.

P.S.- There are Fleet Feet locations in FLA but I don't think they are close to Destin. Stuart, Orlando and Sarasota are the store locations.

Wasn't feeling my run today. Planned for 5, stopped halfway through. I didn't feel good to start with, and when my right calf started getting tight I just said **** it.
