\"\"<\/a> A few weeks ago when I started this latest round of PT<\/abbr>, the therapist told me that my current shoes were not working for me.<\/p>\n

I was in stability shoes. \u00a0I went to a running store and got fitted for them. \u00a0I’ve been wearing stability shoes for the 3 years that I’ve been running.<\/p>\n

The therapist told me that they were actually providing me with too much stability and that I really could benefit from a neutral shoe. \u00a0Most neutral shoes provide some stability anyway (unless you go super minimalist) and that is all that I needed.<\/p>\n

I waited on getting new shoes until I was up to running semi-regularly again. \u00a0I’ve been bumped up to running 1.5 miles every other day and I figured this was a great time to go get some new kicks.<\/p>\n

I got some earlier this week which was a process that we will discuss soon. \u00a0Eventually I found a pair that fit my feet like gloves.<\/p>\n

My first run in them was Saturday and they worked beautifully. \u00a0At first I was nervous because they were slipping on my heel a little bit but as I ran, my feet seemed to adjust and there was no more slipping.<\/p>\n

Running in neutral shoes vs. stability shoes is a whole new world.<\/p>\n

At this point I’m very pleased with this new experience!<\/p>\n

The new shoes are Pearl Izumi SyncroFloat IV<\/a>. \u00a0Heaven!<\/p>\n

My hip seems to be doing much better. \u00a0It is getting used to running again and the pain is decreasing with each week. \u00a0Yes, it’s taking a while but if I can run, then I’m happy.<\/p>\n

How was training this week for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
