Got home late last night to a mail package with my new pair of Brooks PureFlows. Used my St. George Running Center gift certificate from last year's SGM to get them. So of course I had to use them this morning.
Another relatively easy TM run (45 minutes):
5 minutes @ 8.5 mph, flat 5 mins @ 9.0, flat 5 mins @ 9.5, flat 10 mins @ 9.5 @ 1.0 incline 10 mins @ 9.5 @ 2.0 incline 10 mins @ 9.5 @ 3.0 incline
Cooldown, gravitron, lunges, stretching.
So far, I like the PureFlows. They are comfortable and fit well. I can definitely tell that they have a lower drop and are more minimalist-style than most of other current trainers. Of course, I'll need more time to determine how I really feel about them, but initial impression is good. I plan on making them my staple outside shoes for the next little while. I'm most definitely going to retire the DS trainers (which are really worn) and probably the Ravenna's pretty soon.
Tibia/shin felt about the same as yesterday. Doesn't seem like its progressing, which is good.
