Easy taper run to loosen up the legs. I left a couple of things at the office yesterday and I'm not planning on going in today so I decided to run over and pick them up. (I sure enjoy working only 1.5 miles from home.) I've been debating whether to 1) run in my tried and true Saucony Tangents that are a little lighter but less supportive and wearing out, or 2) run in my new Mizuno Wave Rider 13s that are slightly heavier but that are new and have felt great in the few runs I've done in them. I wore the Tangents this morning, along with some new socks I just bought, to see how they felt. The shoes felt good, but I seemed to feel the pounding of the road more than I wanted to. I got injured back in January by pushing too hard and too long in shoes that had too many miles on them, and I've been trying to heal ever since. Since I'm not going for any sort of PR this year, I've decided (for now)
to take what I consider the safer (less injury risk) path and wear the new shoes. The new Asics socks also felt good today so I'll probably wear them, too.
