    Still slowly ramping back up. The good news is I'm not in pain the next day. The bad news is every run seems like a chore. I hate the new shoes. So much so, I bought the pair that was my second choice at the running store to see if they were any better.

    Got in 4 today!!!! Has been difficult lately to get in those miles. A lot to do this time if year but when I do run in the morning I seem so much more efficient the rest of the day. Maybe that is telling me something!! Lol

    Happy running!!!!

    I feel for you on the perfect shoe search. I rotate 5 different pair of running shoes. 1 pair I actually hate and can't wait till I have enough miles in them to justify retiring them. The other 4 pairs I like certain things in each shoe. If I could deconstruct each one & put the parts back together into 1 Frankenstein's monster running shoe. I'd have exactly what I want. Don't think that's gonna happen.

    I rotate 11 pairs... some I love and can't retire even after 800+ miles... but all of them are great shoes. ... keep searching. .. it's easier to find a shoe that won't hurt you than a woman who wont...lol

    9/12 - 5.02km
    20/12 - 4.27km

    Leg finally felt good enough to run! Only a short one, don't want go out too hard and bugger it up completely! And oh the humidity! It was so muggy :o
    My calf started to make it presence felt towards the end of the run.....not pain, more a gentle pulling in the muscle......so will slowly build back up to the time/distance I was doing over a couple of weeks I think.
    It was good to get back out there!! :D

    Good luck with the shoe quest! I don't have room to rotate 11 pairs like Lonewolf but I do have 3 right now that I rotate and will add in a 4th pair in January. I also have several that I no longer run in but use for walking around or running on the beach if I don't go barefoot.
