So I am interested in running. My commute time and work schedule leaves me with way too few riding opportunities these days. (I am trying to change this...)
I figured that running could be a nice drop-of-the-hat exercise that I can do in the evenings and/or at lunch time.
I am on a cholesterol reduced diet and I need to drop about 10-15 lbs (at least). With 20+ hours of commuting and 50+ hours of work each week, this is getting to be difficult. I can't get the riding in like I used to.
Later when I get work closer to home I want to combine running and riding and swimming at the Y.
Problem: I haven't ran since I was a teen.
What is a good beginner shoe? What the hell do I look for?
I know so far:
1) I want to run on local trails, the local school track and the street.
2) I need a shoe that can stand up to a 218 lb caveman.
3) My feet are pretty much "normal". I don't have super high arches or flat feet.
4) My feet are narrow, about a 12b
4) I do get some occasional knee pain from bursitus
Suggestions?
