First Run Post ATB

I've read in the comments of some blog or other in recent days about this product called SuperFeet. Since I hadn't ever seen these things for myself, and lean towards the lazy side, I emailed the Canadian distributor to find out who around these here parts stocked a good selection. Turns out a one-off store called BigFootWear, located just around the corner from my office, carried a good selection. How did I find out you ask? Well, another email of course! Why waste energy, right? Anyway, the fine salesperson at the store not only replied promptly to my question about the insoles, but also indicated that although they did not stock size 12.5 mens running shoes, he would order them for me without a deposit!

People, I think I've found my new favorite running store! I assured the fine gentleman that I am not in need of new kicks right at this moment, but that I will be back as soon as I needed to get a new pair.

Well, tonight's acquisition of my new orange SuperFeet insoles just happened to coincide with my first run post Around the Bay. Funny how that worked out, huh? Did I HAVE to leave work early to go the opposite direction from home and pick up the insoles?

Damn straight!

And so I ran a nice 5km at a leisurely average pace of 5:50/km, taking up 29:11 minutes and seconds of my otherwise fine day made finer by the run and the extra cushioning and support thanks to my new SuperFeet. As time progresses I will report on how these things are working out, and hopefully helping to bring to an end the reign of the dreaded Captain Plantar Fasciitis, who has invaded my right foot for the better part of the past half-year, waging a war of attrition that I've been unable to bring to a satisfactory conclusion.

Garmin don't lie.
