    @Scott6255 No, they weren't properly fitted, but we talked about it. I thought they were extra but just googled the model and they are neutral. (Asics Pulse 9) So I think it's really more about breaking them in. Today, I went back to my old shoes, which were an "oh look, they have pink accents and are on sale" buy. But I used them for a few years now in the gym or sports at home, so they are nicely broken in and they are neutral as well. They sit more loosely in general but there was no pain today. I'm going to wear the new ones now a few days for leisure walks to figure out whether or not we can be friends.

    Well... it's now too late for a cool morning run, and supposed to be 104 by the time I can get out there. Had to stay up late last night to finish a project for work. I'm thinking NO on the run in 104 heat, trying to talk myself into the treadmill but 5 miles on the treadmill sounds horrifying. The problem is tomorrow is supposed to be no cooler, and the next week is thunderstorms. Somebody give me a push!

    wait until 8pm or so when the sun starts to go down, it's not so bad then. At least the sun isn't beating down on you.

    That was a gentle suggestion. She asked for a push.

    seriously how do you keep your feet under you? when i go fast, even 10mph edit: i mean 10:00min/mile, i feel like i'm going to trip over my feet. it feels like a lot of coordination i may not have.
    also, do your legs get tired or your lungs first? it used to be my lungs but now my legs. my HR rarely goes above 170bpm

    Great job @cburke8909 !!
    Good luck tomorrow @MobyCarp
    @HonuNui great picture
    @sarahthes tell that Garmin not to be so negative ha ha Yesterday I came in from running in the morning with bugs all stuck to me. Skip was like gross, I said I think I have some in my teeth too ha ha
    @girlinahat ha ha
    If running didn't involve suffering everyone would be doing it. @LaDispute57 amen!

    Taking Skip to the orthopedic dude on Monday, both her knees are really hurting her. She didn't run this morning and she hasn't missed a training run all summer. I think it's the new shoes she got about a month ago, she's been complaining on and off about her knees the past like 10 days. I told her while she's at work today to get something different. I'm not a Nike fan and that is what they are, so hopefully that is the issue.

    The wrong shoes can kill you

    @skippygirlsmom Yes, it seems to take about that much time for the wrong shoes to cause over-use injuries to become noticeable.
