The Asics were fine. During the Vancouver half I noticed a foot pain I had never experienced before. I was ready to dismiss the Asics to being gym shoes, or maybe used for tennis. But I took them out on a few more runs and found them to work just fine!
Until about two months ago.
I started getting that same pain in my foot. Usually I would get it post mile 7, and it would go away in my ice bath. Then when I did my 20-mile run, I had to foot pain for a week and a half afterward. I kept running on it, of course, because I'm ridiculous.
So after the scare of this pain being a stress fracture, I figured I'd bring back my old Brooks just to see how they felt. And I ran 11 miles in them, pain free!
Yesterday I ran out and got a new pair of my oldies but goodies. They were practically glowing in the dark this morning :) I need to run them through a few puddles or something before the marathon.
I really feel ready to this... is that strange?
(Yes, this is a post about my shoes... whatcha gonna do?)

Woohoo! Break those in, girl! I'm taking a few days off to recover from the chest cold, but might attempt the 1/2 marathon this weekend. Wish me luck! Have a fun and fast 5k this weekend!
