We did it...the Chicago Half Marathon. We went into this thinking we were going to do the 5k but on mile 1.5 JB convinced us (we met up with JB's good friend Jason) that we should the the entire half marathon. We did it, but I must say it was HARD!! My knees were killing me. I had bought new running shoes and was going to "test them" on the 5k, so when we were in the long haul of 13.1 miles I realized the shoes do not fit me correctly. So, I will be purchasing yet another pair of running shoes. Is it too much to ask for a shoe to support my high arches, be good for someone who over pronates and have a wide enough toe box so my toenails don't fall off?? I'm sure Ken Combs Running Store will be able to fit me with a great shoe....here I come! I have to get ready for the Princess Half Marathon in March, 2010 and hope to keep all my toenails.
