Tale of two different shoes

Run Girl Run is a blog that covers just about every aspect of health and fitness. While the primary focus is on my trials and tribulations training for various races, I also talk about my favorite types of exercises, experiences from my yoga instructor days and all kinds of nutrition stuff, with the occasional product review sprinkled in. Follow me as I overcome injury, try to balance a social life and beat back laziness to tackle the marathon, half marathon, 5K and every distance in between.

I learned a valuable lesson this weekend.

When you have a closet full of old running shoes that are all the same style, you should pay very close attentions to which shoes you grab and stuff into your duffel bag.

Or else you may end up in the same predicament I did this weekend.

On the left is my current running shoe (with Road ID and all). On the right is a sneaker from two or three pairs ago.

They're both Mizuno Wave Inspires and they have a very similar color pattern, however, their padding level is not at all the same.

I learned that the hard way on my run this weekend. My feet were not happy with me.
