Ran a few miles with my new shoes and my god, were they amazing. It felt like cheating. Like I was weightless and just flying. I will try to increase the distance this weekend, but it's the best I've felt about running in a long time. The shoes weren't cheap but they were worth it!
They are Brooks Ghost Max 2s. They are expensive. I paid $160. I've never spent this much on running shoes before. I was hesitant but when I put them on at the store and walked around, I was sold.
