I was told as a middle school soccer player with knee pain not to run on pavement.

Two knee surgeries, many pounds, and many years later, I’m in my 40s with two kids and want to really give running a try.

I know I need some good shoes. I have a history of plantar fasciitis, tight IT bands and hip flexors, and a weak core (c-sections definitely DO NOT help this!).

I’d love to hear any recommendations of specific shoes (I have a slightly narrow foot), brands, or what I should look for when trying them on.

Bonus if you have any app recommendations for workout motivation - this ADHD girl has a hard time making new habits!
