Kate GB's Journal, 04 Feb 11

So... My problem is eating late and gigantic portions, I have to fight with and break the habit. Went for a swim yesterday, 14 laps, realized how bad of a swimmer I am LOL The question now - how to learn how to swim faster and not as a pregnant frog... Don't want any trainers or whatever, kinda embarrassing, babushka decided to learn how to swim! LOL

Another investigation - is running shoes! Thanks Dsylikm for all the advice!!! Muah! Anyway, found out I have a high arch and I need some special shoes for underpronators (sounds like a name of a dinosaur! :-o)
The prob is my bfr did same long time ago, found some fancy shoes for runners and they didn't work as he thought they wud for that price so he bought just regular gym shoes, Fila and he says the best shoes ever! So I'm not sure if I can trust those fancy brands and spend zillion dollars and hurt myself again..

Gonna hunt this weekend, try different ones, want comfy shoes I cud kick asses in! :)

I'm not a strong swimmer so I'm impressed with what you can do! You crack me up - "pregnant frog"? LOL I highly doubt that. Is Filene's basement still on Michigan Ave? I would try there or Marshalls even by the Grand Luxe cafe. You'd be surprised at what you may find. You don't want to spend way too much, I agree. My Asics were on sale for about $70-80 (Lady Foot Locker) but I know of others who have found theirs for $30-40 at stores like Marshalls/TJMaxx. Just have an idea of the brand/type you want first. Good luck!

I researched a lot of Asics yesterday, found sales on amazon like $50-60 but wanna try em on 1st.. and see how that goes I guess.. Maybe go to sports authority too, check it out. Oh and I got insoles for now for the high arch, so far it helps! Thanks for all ur help! :) P.s.: what's Filene's basement?

You're welcome! It may not be there anymore but it is like a Marshalls/TJ Maxx, only bigger. I remember it being across from Water Tower Place or just South of there on the West side of Michigan Ave. It may not be there anymore though since they've made changes since I was there last.
