Shoes at 4:35 a.m.

It's so hard to be up and out of the house by 5:00 a.m. on the days Elaine and I go to the gym. I have two pair of exercise shoes. One pair are 1/2 size larger than my regular everyday shoes. They're for the gym. The other pair are a whole size larger and are for running/walking. This gives me extra room so I don't get the dreaded "black toe." Sometimes it can be a challenge to find the right running shoe. I buy my shoes at a wonderful little store in Layton where they have a foot scan that shows what type of foot I have. Then they bring out a large number of shoes to try on that fit my type.  The brand that fits me best is made by Mizuno.
