Teacher didn't let nasty weather stop her 50K run
Final Kicks Very own Jen Jellig
About 26 miles in, Jennifer Jellig could feel all those soaking wet strides begin to take their toll.
That's not surprising, as her previous limit had been 26.2 miles. She's run 11 marathons since she completed her first in 2002.

Is it time to get new shoes?
Replace running shoes every 400 to 600 miles or every six months. Research reports a strong correlation between infrequent change in running shoes and injuries. The midsole of a shoe will break down before the outsole, as midsoles are made of less durable materials than outsoles. If the midsole begins to look cracked or display wrinkles, it’s time to get a new running shoe. Running shoes lose 30 to 50 percent of their shock absorption after about 250 miles of use. Shock absorption capabilities of the midsole are reduced even if a shoe sits on a shelf for one to two years.(Michele Dierkes MPT, ATC, Physical Therapist, Cleveland Clinic Sports Health)
