I went to Forerunners on W. 4th last week and picked up some neutral Sauconys to use with my orthotics. I probably started running in my orthotics too soon as they hurt my soles pretty badly the first couple of runs on the treadmill, but I think they're finally starting to break in. I went for a 5K this morning and the feet didn't feel too badly afterwards.

Garmin Forerunners are pretty neat. I tried mine out for the first time today and I was able to analyze data from the run afterwards. I guess I'll have to look into high-intensity training as I'm managing only an 8 min/mile pace.
