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.
