Training begins

Today, Monday, the day after the Seattle to Portland, I am begining my “quest for fitness” after taking a year “off”.
I’m looking at Nike shoes for cross trainers, (I used to be a fairly active runner before I became involved in cycling). Basically, the shoes I choose will have to have arch support and be fairly stiff, there are basically two brands that I really enjoy, Nike and New Balance, in my shoe rack you’ll see both during the running season.
The site http://www.become.com makes is easy to search for product (in my case running shoes) that will fit you and your budget, an example search http://clothing-and-accessories.become.com/nike-cross-training-shoes-fltr-660-_-men–find-html pulls up a list of running shoes from various sites, sure beats my local brick and mortar!
