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 done any running since high school.
After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try. So, I put my tennis shoes and sweat pants and drove to the school track.
I couldn't even make it around the track one time, and it was only 1/6 of a mile track.
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; who was the same guy that talked me into this wonderful world of running suggested that 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 to be superior over other shoes that I tried on.
My friend was right because 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 it was off 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 with me running an 8 to a 9-minute mile for 5 miles.
The New Balance shoes made all of 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.
