Last week I finally made an appointment to go to the chiropractor. I only run on the streets around my neighborhood, and prior to the appointment, I could feel my left hip was out. I blame it on how uneven the streets are towards the sides. So I wasn't super amazed when the doctor said I was completely out of alignment. However, when he said my right leg was about 3/4 of an inch shorter that my other one, I was a little shocked! Hello, that might be my problem. Now I'm all fixed up and feeling better. I still have a little issue with my hip, but I don't think it's going to go away while I'm still running.
I did get some fancy new shoes yesterday!! After running multiple long runs in my Vibrams, I felt like I needed something with a little more support for my knees. I love my Vibrams and will definitely keep running shorter distances in them, but I am excited to run in my new shoes. I actually have almost worn through the bottom portion of my Vibrams, so either way, something new needed to be purchased!
I was going to go with the Saucony Grid Type A4 shoes, which is a racing shoe, but still didn't feel quite enough support in them. I decided on the Brooks PureConnect, which have a similar style as my Vibrams. They have a little more support, but with the flexibility of the neutral running shoe. Aren't they pretty?
Love B
