Turns out I have been wearing the wrong running sneakers....for me. I was wearing the Nike free +3 and I wasn't getting enough support. So I made the switch to what was right for me.
I heard lots of talk about the "top 3" Asics, Brooks, and Newtons. However, I was lucky enough to have the assistance of Noam at the Running company on 3rd avenue (http://www.therunningcompany.net)
He has run over 32 full marathons and had so much knowledge about every single shoe!
They gave me an analysis of the way I run to determine which kind of shoe I needed. Turns out I needed a neutral running show and while the Nike free's look amazing they are too minimal for me now. He brought out the New Balance 1080's, and everything clicked! So thank you to Noam and no matter what anyone says stick to your gut. It has to feel right and give you support. Than you can worry about the pretty colors :)
