Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Well, my new Newton Running shoes are here.  For the last couple of years (basically, since I got serious about running) I have been interested in becoming more of a mid-to-forefoot striker as I have heard it is less injury prone and actually results in better (i.e. faster) running.  I have tried in the past [...]
