"New shoes, new shoes ... red or pink or blue shoes ... tell me what would you choose ... if we were to buy ..." These words come from a favorite childhood poem and lead me into a post about new sneakers.
With all the miles of training, and a couple of races already this year, it was time. I looked at the tread on my well-loved Adidas (3rd pair of the same style, just updated model) back in March. I knew what I had to do. Time for Supernova Sequence 4s. So with one month to go before the Shires Marathon the box arrived. Some people really like new car smell. I like new sneaker smell.
First, I just wore them around the house. Then I took them out for a 3 mile walk on Saturday. So far so good. Next test? 10 miles on Sunday. No blisters. But something was not quite right. So today another test, 6 miles. Different socks. Ah ha! I think I have found the combination I was looking for. I sure hope so.
A big test coming up on Sunday - last 20 mile training session.
