My nerdiness isn't restricted solely to all things words. I like to extend my nerdiness to all facets of my life. Outside of reading, I enjoy running. Some would say jogging. I actually like to use a soft J in the pronunciation and say yogging. I'm no speed demon but I also have the crazy insight that my yogging is only about me. I don't need to be fast so long as it feels good.
As many runners will admit, finding the right shoes makes all the difference in running. My very loved Brooks have been worn long past the point they should probably be replaced. Eventually they got to a point I had to get something new. So the red Brooks got tossed into the pile for dog walking and hiking. It was a sad day. For me, those red Brooks were a little like Dorothy's ruby slippers - they took me home.
I was totally thrilled when I found out Influenster was going to send me a complimentary pair of Dr. Scholl's Active Series Inserts to try and review. I knew exactly what pair of shoes I was going to try them in. After trimming them to fit and placing them in my old ruby slippers, I donned those bad boys and headed out for a walk. I didn't want to be disappointed on a yog if they weren't comfortable so I took the hound out for a long stroll. The shoes felt great! These inserts have breathed new life into my old shoes. While I don't think I'd go out and buy these to put in every pair of shoes (I don't have pain enough to want to replace the originals), I would definitely consider adding these once I can tell my shoes have started to break down. And while I had already found my new running shoes, it is great to know that these babies are around for backup or for a future mud run.
