Many years ago, I needed to get into shape and lose some weight.
A good friend of mine suggested that I should start exercising. By exercise, he meant running. Well, I haven't run since high school.
After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try. So, I put on my tennis shoes and sweat pants and drove to the school track.
I couldn't even make it around the track once, and it was only 1/6 of a mile.
I'm not one to quit, so I stayed with it, and before long, I was running 5 to 6 miles a day. I lost some of that weight, and I was getting in really good shape.
It wasn't long before I started to feel some aches and pains. My legs, shins, and back started to bother me. I thought maybe that I was overdoing it by pushing myself so much.
My running partner, the same guy who talked me into this wonderful world of running, suggested I really needed a good pair of running shoes.
New Balance Running Shoes:
Now, I was off to investigate running shoes. I found New Balance to be the
perfect running shoe for me. I wear a 9-1/2 wide, and New Balance seemed to
be the only running shoe that I could find in half sizes. I find the support
and comfort superior to those of other shoes I tried on.
My friend was right: soon my aches and pains vanished as I continued to run (no, not like Forrest Gump). Every day, when I came home from work, I changed into my running gear and headed to the park for my
5-mile run. Rain, snow or sunshine I was out there running.
Okay, maybe I was a jogger and not a runner, but it was a good aerobic
workout. I would welcome anyone to tag along as I run an 8 to 9-minute mile for 5 miles.
The New Balance shoes made all the difference in the world; they have excellent cushion and support, and I felt like I was running on clouds.
Fast forward to today. I really don't run anymore. But I do a lot of walking, and I'm wearing my New Balance walking shoes. New Balance is the
only sports shoe that I'll ever wear.
