As I said yesterday, I was off to Medved to get some new running shoes.
And did I find some running shoes!
I present to you, my new Mizuno Wave Precision 12s.
Dun-duh-duh-dahhhh! {superhero music}
Aren’t they awesome! I l.o.v.e. the colors!
I sent a picture to my dad and his response… “Okay?? How much did they cost?”
HA! Typical Dad.
He just doesn’t get it!
Nor would my mom.
Duh.
Like I said, I wanted to go with something a bit more lightweight than my Wave Riders. I spoke with the salesman [who, by the way, was also awesome and so knowledgeable] and told him what I was looking for. He then took a look at my foot, asked a few questions about where I typically run, and he brought out a few ultralightweight shoes with enough support for the hard surfaces (outside/pavement) I typically run on.
The other shoes fit great, but the Mizunos feel so good.
It’s a match made in heaven.
Right after I purchased them, I went straight to the gym to test them out with a little HIIT treadmill workout a la Hillary.

1 min @ 7.2 // 1 min @ 8.2 – repeat
Finish 4th mile @ 7.5
Remember, you can follow all my running workouts at Daily Mile.
I followed that up with a few squats, deadlifts, and lunges. Felt amazing. They are so nice and light. YAY!
Okay, that’s enough pictures of my shoes.
Okay, okay. Last one I promise! So sexy {the shoes, not my legs! ha!}.
See you on the track!
