I can't say i have a great reason for picking this particular pair of shoes. It was mostly based on the fact that two of my best friends (one being my husband and the other being my best running partners) both swear by them. For a runner that's certainly not a good reason for picking a pair of shoes. It's a rather poor one actually. I finally broke away from my Brooks Adrenalines and tried to branch out. I had a gift card for Amazon so I went all in and bought a pair of Asics Kayanos and 2XU compression socks. And 20 miles later, they are growing on me!
This is the third long run of the month in my training for the Ellerbe marathon in March, a race that I hope to use to qualify for the Boston marathon this year. The run went surprisingly well after 2 days of practically starving myself during a 2 day exam for the medical boards. Had I been my own client, I would have questioned the value in the decisions I made, but unfortunately I don't always take my own advice. Do as I say, not as a I do! Although, hopefully the results will speak for themselves. I guess we'll know in 2 months when I run Ellerbe.
