Psyche! Of course I did not run a mile, it is taper week!
Shoe debate:
Hoka Ones - heavy, slow, really well cushioned for the knees
Adidas - my go to shoe - light, fast, not so nice to knees
Actually, since it is a double loop course (and they are predicting non-stop rain), I am thinkng I will change shoes/socks after first loop ... but not sure which to wear first!
Seriously, currently my average pace on a comfortable run in the Adidas is about 9:30, in the Hokas more like 10:30 ... that is a major difference. So, do I trash my knees early, or wear the Adidas the second half, when I may not have the energy to run anyway!
I see myself waffling back & forth on this issue the rest of the week, I guess it will be a gametime decision.
