Hi guys! It’s me. 
\u00a0 I figured since it’s my birthday month and being my site and all, I would feature myself. 
\u00a0 I\u00a0 am in love with doing this feature and I hope you guys are enjoying it as well.\u00a0 No Tuesday Tip today, just me. Let’s take a look at some kicks!<\/p>\n

Brooks Adrenaline GTS8 <\/p><\/div>\n
These are my Brooks Adrenalines.\u00a0 And they are the second pair of Brooks for me.\u00a0 When I went in to purchase new shoes, I showed the person helping me my old shoes first.\u00a0 Which if you are going for new running shoes always bring in your old pair.\u00a0 This way the person at the store can get a better understanding of how you move.\u00a0 Along with looking at how you walk, they will be able to look at your old shoes for clues on the wear and tear and where it seems to be located.\u00a0 This gives them more information about how you walk and about your balance.\u00a0 Even if you don’t have old runners, bring in an old pair of shoes for them to evaluate.<\/p>\n
When I first bought running shoes, it was determined that I needed stability shoes. I tend to start on the outside of my foot and roll inwards, basically overpronating.\u00a0 Runner’s World has some great descriptions of what this means<\/a>.\u00a0 The fact that I do this doesn’t surprise me; my dad walked the same way except his walk was very exaggerated.\u00a0 Almost like duck walking, he walked with his feet turned out so much.\u00a0 My feet probably have identity issues.\u00a0 When I was younger, my feet turned in too much, so I had to wear corrective shoes.\u00a0 It was the 70s so think huge ugly brown prescription shoes.\u00a0 Roawr!\u00a0 Then I danced for years and years, and so my feet had to turn out even more. \u00a0 Stability shoes are something I will always need.\u00a0 You don’t ever really get away from that.\u00a0 So for my second pair,\u00a0 I went in knowing I would be sticking with another stability shoe.\u00a0 I wanted to try something other than Brooks though since I already used those.\u00a0 I was looking to branch out more.<\/p>\n I tried on different shoes and nothing was working.\u00a0 I also have really narrow feet with an even narrower heel.\u00a0 A lot of the stability shoes I was trying on were either too big or felt really bulky and clunky due to the added support.\u00a0 The person helping me brought out the new Brooks Adrenalines for me to try on.\u00a0 I gave in and tried them because nothing else was working and I needed a new pair of shoes STAT.<\/p>\n The fit on these was amazing.\u00a0 They are cushy, light, and fit my narrow feet perfectly.\u00a0 I could not have asked for a better shoe and am so glad that I was convinced to give them another try!\u00a0 I bought them right away and, bonus, they are not pastel!<\/p>\n These shoes have gotten me through all of my milestones so far and will get me through even more.\u00a0 These shoes will see my first double digit mile run.\u00a0 They will see my first 1\/2 race.\u00a0 And goodness knows what else as I keep tackling new goals.\u00a0 My shoes are Adrenaline GTS 8 and I see the 9 is already out.\u00a0 And in some pretty snazzy colors as well!<\/p>\n
