How to Pick the Right Pair of Running Shoes
Are you ready to start a new healthy habit of running or a seasoned runner looking to replace an old pair of shoes? Either way, it is very important to buy the right pair of shoes for you – not necessarily the ones that are the most technically advanced or on the sale rack!At least for me, it is so tempting to hit the sale rack when I begin my search for new shoes. It kills me to spend anymore than I absolutely have to, but with running shoes, I have found, it is one thing to not spare any expense.

Stacy Walsh Completes 2006 San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon
Scotts Valley, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2006 -- In a thrilling finish, Stacy Walsh, a Marathoner from Scotts Valley, California beat all expectations to finish the 2006 San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon in six hours and nineteen minutes. With this time, she beat her husband, Martin’s, previous record of eight hours and three minutes by a considerable margin.
“I’m very proud of Stacy”, said Martin at an impromptu press conference after the run. “Before training for this race, Stacy was not a runner, with a 10K personal best distance. For a first-timer, this was an amazing result, although I don’t think she can refer to herself as a non-runner after this. She has exceeded even her own expectations and has proven to everyone that she is capable of anything and everything she sets her mind to”.
Stacy said that her main motivation and inspiration during the race was her friend, Stephanie Cadet, who tragically died of heart failure last year after an ongoing battle with heart disease. “Steph never gave up on her hopes and dreams, no matter what the circumstance”, said Mrs. Walsh, “she has always inspired me to be more than I think I can be. I know she would be very proud of me today.”
Stacy has been running to help raise funds for the Stephanie Brown Cadet Memorial Foundation. So far she has raise $1500 and hopes to add more to that total even after the race. Those interested in giving a congratulatory donation can do so at the following web address:
