jazzfishI seem to be hypersensitive to sound in the mornings. Perfectly normal quiet rustlings wake me up, and I lie around trying to get back to sleep for another hour or so. So, as of today I'm trying to put this time to actual use. I got up an hour early and walked over to Brown Farm for a run.
Okay, more of a "gasping jog." Interspersed with long stretches of "can't run, keep walking." It's a start.
Tonight I plan on spending too much money on decent running shoes. The Chacos just aren't cutting it, says the blister on my right foot. I'll also be actually bringing water with me tomorrow, instead of relying on guzzling from the faucet when I get home.
However. I know several of y'all are (or have been) into this whole "running" thing. Advice? Tips? Preferences for various sport drinks over water? (And how do you carry the bottle with you while you're running, anyway?)

They should ask you to walk and jog back and and forth to get an idea of your gait and stride. Then make a recommendation based on how you move. Since shoe brands and lines have different sizes, cuts, arch support, etc., they should be able to make a good recommendation.
