New Shoes

My new shoes arrived today. New Balance model 856 size 12. The shoe is supposed to be for the high mileage runner with flat arches. That's me. I used to be a size 10 but then the arches flattened out. Who knows why? Go figure.

The thing I like about New Balance running shoes is they're made in America with American parts by Americans. Unlike Nike and a lot of other brands that use and abuse cheap Asian labor. And I got a great deal on the shoes. They retail for $94 plus tax but I got them online for $74 plus $8.50 for shipping so it's really a great deal. I can't wait to try them out on a local run tomorrow morning.

No run for me today. I'm still a little sore from the 12 miler Monday. But I did a little yoga to stretch those sore muscles and that helped. Blood sugar was a very respectable 116 this evening after being a tad high at 133 this morning.
