I love my Mizuno running shoes that were the last pair on a sale rack at R.E.I in Bellingham and fit like a glove. Unfortunately, a year of running on the hard London streets was causing some serious knee pains and the January sales here in the UK seemed like a good enough reason to trade them in. 

I did some research (read: google for 45 minutes) and these Nike Lunar Eclipse+ shoes seemed like a pretty good balance for my current needs (read: cushioned enough for constant road running and bright coloured for my #ridiculousrunningoutfits).

We’ll see how the next couple of days go of training runs and hopefully they become my new best friends helping me get to the finish line of the Brighton Half in just over a month. (#yikes).
