Becoming A Jock

One man's journey from slacker to jock

New shoes!

My brother, who runs marathons, recommended a local store to go to get my first ever real running shoes.

I tried on 3 or 4 different pairs - and even took little test runs outside in each - and decided on the New Balance 768 ($139.99 CAD).

Tomorrow morning I'm going to try out my 1.5k with them.
