The gait analysis was actually pretty interesting. My specialist measured my foot in about 6 different ways, watched me walk, put me in neutral running shoes, and then video-taped and watched me run on a treadmill. From behind. Luckily, I'm strategic and purposely wore my favorite running pants. They make my butt look pretty awesome. I knew there was a chance the specialist that would watch me run would be a cute boy...and he was. A-dor-able. We had a pretty fun 45 minutes together, including him being super patient as I tried on 7 pairs of running shoes. I think we're going to be running buddies, which I am uber-happy about. (We decided we were running soul-mates because I decided on a pair of shoes that happen to be identical to his...and he didn't tell me until after I decided, so there was no persuasion involved)
But anyway, I left with a great pair of Brooks running shoes! And I even took them for a test-run afterward. I did an easy 4 miles....sorry, CB. I know you told me no more than 3, but I just couldn't help myself. They felt pretty great, I have to say. I need to run once or twice more to fully decide. Fleet Feet will let you return shoes within 30 days of purchase if you don't love them - even if you've already run in them. Awesome.
The bad news from my run? My right knee was bothering me enough at the end that I had to take a couple of breaks to walk it off (luckily it doesn't hurt when I walk).
The good news from my run? I saw the greatest sweater in the history of the world. I snuck up on the guy just so I could snap this pic:
