Easy 7 miles at 7:30 ave. Went to Road Runner Sports by my house yesterday and got some new shoes and a water belt for my long run tomorrow. Thanks, Allie and Jon for your recommendations. Also ordered honey stix online per Allie's suggestion. Tomorrow I'll probably just take 8 ounces each of gatorade and water, and maybe a half of a granola bar. I'm only going 12 miles, but I felt extremely depleted after last week's 11 miler with no hydration or food, so I'm not going to let that happen again. Tested out my new shoes this morning and they felt GREAT! I have been rotating between 3 or 4 pair of running shoes I've had for over 2 years, so I figured it was time for a new pair. Did the gait/foot strike analysis and the sales associate thought I needed a little bit of stability since my left foot falls in a bit. So I got Nike Zoom Structure Triax. Any other high arch mild pronators out there have a favorite shoe recommendation?
