That's an awesome achievement! Did you do anything in particular to improve your score, or was it just the doing it that helped you improve? I'd really love to shave it down >30:00 without feeling like I want to die by the end!

We didn't use it ourselves, but I've heard a lot of great feedback about it from caloriecount.about.com. Plus, it's developed to help non-runners find their stride gradually. I think it's a great place to start! As far as affordable running shoes...that can be tricky. JD and I decided to spend a little more since we knew running would be a serious form of exercise for us. We also wanted to move into "minimalist" running (less of a lift in the shoe so that you find a more natural stride), and I ended up choosing the Brooks PureConnect and I LOVE them! Before that I wore the Nike Free 3.0, which I also loved. However, both pairs were about $90. I saw this Brooks style online for quite a bit cheaper, and the reviews seem to be pretty decent: http://www.runningwarehouse.com/descpageWRS-BGSW3.html. If you don't feel comfortable ordering online and are local to Lawrence/KC, I recommend going into Gary Gribble's Running Sports and talking to them. Those guys are SO knowledgeable and accommodating!Jamie Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637306241396474657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610914247566390010.post-45873367334042826502012-07-16T00:09:09.474-07:002012-07-16T00:09:09.474-07:00Congrats!
