This past weekend, Tim and I took the boys to brunch downtown and enjoyed a little photoshoot scouting at a park. That also put us downtown near my fav running stores. Since my Brooks are hitting the 300 mile mark, I figured I'd look for some new one.
Honestly, if I'd have liked the colors of the new Pures, I may just have bought them and not given it a second thought. But I didn't love the fit right away and figured it might be time for a change.

I got me a bright shiny pair of Newtons this weekend at Luke's Locker.
What are Newtons? Who is Newton? Why are they weird colored?
Well. This is the about info from their page:
Bottom line, these are cool people working to make shoes for a more natural running expirience. Newton champions a more natural cadence and form as well. Check out this info graphic from their website:
So today, I did my first run in them. And...it's an adjustment. Not bad, but my stance causes my right foot to point at 2:00, not noon while standing. This means the lugs on my right foot hit in a different place then my left and that's kinda weird. I feel the benefits they're talking about but it wasn't perfect by any stretch this morning. Weird ankle pain on that right side. Not crazy bad just a little sore. I'll run again Tuesday, I'll let you know it goes!
But so far, I think this is a positive change!
