Texas Pictures & Shoes

A few pictures from Texas.

Shoes - Sometime back I posted a picture of my very old and worn out orange shoes which I ran a half marathon in and my races last year.  I would suggest some of my feet, leg and ankle issues were attributed to those shoes. While in Texas I took advantage of the great shoe prices and purchased a new pair of runners.  The ones I purchased just before Around the Bay have around 800 Klm on them and I was hoping for a  few more however that won't happen.  A few weeks back I had some minor knee pain and thought about new shoes but this happened again yesterday.  Various web sites recommend changing them every 300 to 400 miles.   Dr. Jason agreed and the new shoes will be on my fit later this week. Next race in Guelph will be with my new purple "go faster" shoe.  The purple will make me go faster I think.  The old shoes will become the normal use pair and then my normal use pair will become my house shoes.  Before I know it I'll have be the Imelda Marcos of running shoes :-) 

Have a great week,
