Another run in the new shoes.  I felt great, wonderful in fact, for the first three miles then my ankles started to hurt again.  It's not bad, I can run through it, but I don't want to get injured so I stopped every half mile or so after that to stretch.  It seemed to work well and I'm hoping that my recovery will be faster.  I was hoping that there would be less transition into these shoes but I'll keep plugging away at them.  My feet will get there.  I love them for the first half of the runs I've had in them so I'm not going to give up.

I have weak ankles, for real. That has been the cause of every injury I have had to date, or so I have been told. Now these shoes really scare me!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

One of the things this shoe is supposed to do is strengthen you feet. The jury is still out but I'm hoping that it does that and helps reduce nagging injuries. I'll keep you posted.
