This Run's for You, Cassy

This blog was created to chronicle my training for and running of the Glass City Marathon, my first, which I completed on 04/13/08, in honor of my cousin, Cassy, who has severe cerebral palsy. If this is your first visit or you would simply like to know more of what this blog is about, please see my post, "Preface and Purpose", by expanding the January 2008 Post Archives at the bottom of the right sidebar. It's my very first post at the bottom. Thanks for stopping by!

Dave's 10 Mile Shoe Run Race and New Shoes!

So Tammy and I stopped into Dave's Performance Footgear in Sylvania last night because I wanted to drop off a race registration for the Dave's 10 Mile Shoe Run in Delta, Ohio this Sunday, which I did. We ended up getting fitted for shoes by Liz, who was awesome, and walked out with a couple of new pairs of Mizuno running shoes, some running socks, and some empty pockets. My feet are fairly normal, other than being short and wide like my dad's, but she measured me and I found that I have been running in entirely too small of shoes. I've been running in 9.5's and she measured me to 11's. Whoops! Liz was awesome and I was totally happy with the selections she had me try and they weren't even the most expensive of shoes they sold! Lesson learned. Hopefully I'll see Liz, a runner herself, at the GCM or the Flying Pig races which she said she will be registering for. Dave's 10-miler on Sunday so, get your game face on Cassy... we have a 10 mile race to run Sunday hon! ;-)
