Running in non posted shoes, Asics Nimbus, today.  I am not sure what I think about it.  They definately dont have as much cushion as I am used to so I cant imagine running very far in them.  The whole point in trying them was to see if possibly I dont need a posted shoe ( i.e. would knee pain go away, or would I stay injury free for longer than 3 or 4 months which seems to be the norm for me this year).  

My knee was the same, uncomfy for the first 1/2 block then not felt again.  Mile 3 and 4 I just kept switching back and forth between thinking they would be ok and then back to thinking they just have no cushion, and I would rather run in a posted shoe.  I will defintaly have to try them again on one of my next runs to see what I think.  It is hard to tell anything after just one run.

Walking before work today.  The last few days have been to windy to hardly go outside.  My knee feels better with the time off.  Will try running and lunges next week.
