I am no runner but running is the closest sports activity I can get. I play no balls. The un-sporty me will just hit the roads with less inspiration but only to out run peer pressure behind. With PR and PB at 38:05 for 5K, running for me can only be for health and well being.
What I lack in athletics, I make up in fashion, at least I should have the best running shoes. Lucky for me because it finds me without me having to look for it. I got invited to a bloggers meet-up for the Cebu launching of Sketchers Go Run shoe line. I was surprised to know that Sketchers is not just a lifestyle shoe brand as I used to know, it actually expanded to offer one of the best running shoes in the market today. No less than the award winning American runner Mebrahtom “Meb” Keflezighi endorses this product. It’s a perfect combination of the two seemingly separate worlds of fashion and athletic functionality.
SKECHERS GO run elevates the natural running experience, allowing you to interact with and respond to practically any surface, while offering the additional benefit of real world protection.

Here are some runners review:
Melodie after her first run:
“I went sockless in them. Absolutely NO RUBBING or irritation.
I have very high arches, and PF in both feet. With the left foot being the one that is really angry right now. Right foot is at bay.
I liked the way the built up middle pushed against my arch when I ran. It really took a lot of pressure off the heel. I’m not a heel striker. But somehow, it took pressure off, maybe by eliminating some overstretching of the connective tissue? It seemed to roll and massage the arch (where the PF is stretching from the heel forward).
Don’t know what will come of it. But out on my first run, 5 miles, initial thought is they are very light, very comfortable, stretchy, no rubbing, no pains…so far, so good. Lets see how durable they are! 
Thumbs up after first run!”

Moving on, getting back to shape is not a sprint but a marathon. It can’t be railroaded like an impeachment complaint. I have high hopes for 2012. It fits!
