*I purchased a new pair of shoes on the advice of our Adidas rep. I am sure they are fine shoes, but they are definitely not for me! On Wednesday, I had SORE legs and did not even finish a mile. I chalked it up to sore legs from the long run, all the extra walking I did during my business trip (~10 miles/day from Sunday through Tuesday), and spending 4 hours in planes on Tuesday night with little sleep. Thursday, I had the same problems. At the one mile mark, both shins, my right ankle, and left knee throbbed! I turned around and mostly walked/jogged back in. . . I paid close attention to my stride and realized I was supinating in these shoes. My "Shoe Guy" gave me the "I told you so look" and got me a second pair of the Saucony that I run in. Ran the half on Saturday with no shin, ankle, or knee pain (although I did have a lot of anxiety about it. . .) Rule 1: Always listen to your "Shoe Guy". Find a good one and then shut up; the good one's know best!
