Walk, walk ...

Today's the day set for walking, and walk I did. Helped unkink the legs - kinda like this program , its easy to follow, and I hope to avoid injury, after having been injured for most of last year - as a result of which I missed out on quite a few races.

Started looking at shoes too : My shoes are a little on the heavy side -12oz, nice plush ride, but I think if I can shave a few ounces , it might bode well on the long run. 

Heard a lot about the Reebok ZigTech running shoes but do not know anyone who owns them. Would like to hear some feedback though- although I would really like to get a pair of AVIA 5020s ( not available in Malaysia )...*sigh* http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/men-avia-a5020m-reviews

For the uninitiated, AVIA is endorsed by the Podiatric Physicians of America. 
They pioneered a very basic but still groundbreaking technology known as the ‘cantilever heel.’
What this technology does is that it flares out on impact and directs impact forces horizontally instead or vertically - in other words it; disperses the impact instead of transmitting it directly upwards to the foot thus preventing injuries.

Simple effective explanation. Most of the new technologies have yet to be peer reviewed - some food for thought.
