I've said it before, and maybe its partly because I'm a shallow competitive shite. But starting slowly in a mass start event. Means everyone leaves you at the start, but you spend most of the race over taking people. Which makes me feel great.
Checked my Paramounts last night, and I've worn through the wear resistant layer at the heel. This almost definitly means I've put enough miles on them to destroy the cushioning. Ordering a new pair this morning to pick up saturday when I arrive in Blighty. Down to the big 3
Asic kayano 17 - Brilliantly balanced support shoe, which has always had a slightly narrow last for me. The 17 is wider and should fit perfect.
Mizuno Nirana 7 - Brilliant support, on a wide last. This is probably the most suitible shoe for me. I've owned and loved previous models.
Brooks Trance 10 - Never owned brooks shoes before. But the level of comfort and cushioning in these is very tempting, as my knees take a battering from astroturf rugby.
I have a couple of hours to decide before I really need to order them. Common sense says just order the mizuno, but the non-newtonian fluid in the brooks is seducing my inner nerd.
Any advice gratefully recieved.
