June 9, 2011 - New Shoes

Since today was to be a short 3 miler, I tried out a pair of my new Sauconys. As soon as I started out, it felt like one of the soles was flapping around as if it wasn't attached to the shoe. My first hope was that this was some kind of feature the propelled me into running faster, except that it was only on the right shoe. I stopped, checked it out - it's attached. I'm not sure what is going on with it. Anyway, I was happy with 28:06 (9:22). The soreness my lower legs felt in the muscles seem to be evolving into shin splints.
