I'd been running in cross-trainers (very old ones at that) until 2 weeks ago. I finally made the effort and financial outlay to get proper running shoes. Cool Running has some great articles on shes <a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_1/184.shtml">here</a> and <a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_1/185.shtml">here</a> and the Brooks website has a good guide to which of their shoes are the best for you. My shoes may be way too bright and spaceship looking but it's like driving a Ferrari.</p> That tiny mention about putting on RUNNING SHOES is so important.

An insprirational book is Ultramarathon Man by Dan Karnazes.</p> I love Fixx’s book (and supposedly those were HIS legs…nice!!), Marathoning for Mortals is another good one w/ good parts on how to interpret various pains (by duration, when it occurs etc) and how to avoid injuries.
