I recently took up running–an activity which, in itself, is exciting considering until-now prohibitive knee and ankle pain. Since I always enjoyed running as a kid, I’m pretty excited to get back into it (even if I am really slow…it’s only been a week! I’m improving!) Because my excitement translates into purchases, I ordered these fancy running shoes from Athletic Propulsion Labs.
They haven’t arrived yet, but I’m very excited to see whether they can make me jump higher as the website claims. I’m tempering my expectations though–as great as it would be if they gave me the ability to leap over tall buildings in a single bound, the website says the maximum vertical increase in testing was 3.5″ so I’m not too hopeful about those Superman powers.
