The shoes were great, the lungs and legs, not so much. Does anybody have advice on where I can go to purchase a good pair of legs?I'm like LeBron James.

No laughing here. My first time out once I decided I wanted to start running, I made it a half mile and cursed the thought of ever trying again. Time and pace are irrelevant for you right now, just be patient and trust that after a while it will get easier. In the meantime, think of this as the introduction of a lot of new stress to your bones, muscles, and connective tissues and take it nice and easy accordingly. Your lungs will get stronger far faster than your legs will.

Originally posted by OhioBlue View PostThe Guide 5 is a great shoe. Saucony caught my attention by lowering the heel to 8mm and cutting out some weight, plus I don't know if you got the blue one with green accents but that's a good looking shoe. Nice choice.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

It's really worth going to a store and getting an understanding of what type of shoe you need, the proper last, stability, cushioning, etc. I'm not a runner, but I used to work in a shoe store and was that dorky kid who loved learning about why some shoes were better for certain people than others (probably due to my foot surgeries growing up).
The help is free. If you want to do things on the cheap, just use it to glean information, then go online and buy the shoes you liked best. Also, if you buy the previous year's version of the same shoe (mine are Asics...can't remember the model name, but it starts with a K), you can save 30-40% right off the top.
Good luck.
Edit: Just saw you went with Saucony. Solid brand; my brother runs in them and swears by them.Last edited by Green Monstah; 05-11-2012, 08:45 AM.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

I go to Fleet Feet here in Pleasanton. They're a franchise operation with a store in American Fork. I assume like any good running shoe emporium, they took a lot of time with me and I ran on multiple pairs while they looked at my gait, narrowing the recommended choices to 3-4, and then I decided which one I liked best. Over the past 2-3 years, I've stuck with the Asics Nimbus Gels (a somewhat softer ride) and have really liked them. I have yet to sustain an injury, but when dawdles along at my speed, hardly surprising.
