Yesterday my beautiful new Brooks came in, but I had a 6 miler scheduled and I knew running 6 miles in new shoes would be a terrible idea. So instead I went out on a 4 miler in my old running shoes then came home changed into my Brooks for 2 miles. To be fair I first ran 4.2 miles because as much as 6.2 is an uneven number, I do like the roundness of 10K!
As soon as I put on my new shoes I couldn’t get over how LIGHT they were. My Nikes are like bricks in comparision. The Brooks also breathed (sp?) really well. I have some teeny tiny blisters one the same toe on each foot, but really I enjoyed the fit (I was between sized and went for the bigger one aka unisex size 10s). I plan to have the Brooks be mainly race-day shoes, but until I get my Nike Air Pegasus in May I’ll be wearing them a bit more regularly along with my old Nikes.
I hope I can break the Brooks in enough to run in them next weekend (4/3) in my half. Is that too soon?
