New shoes a must
By jerryallison in Run to Eat. Eat to Run.

Less than a quarter mile out the door and there it was - pain in my left knee. Which can only mean one thing?

Time for new shoes.

I hold fast to the rule of replacing shoes after 300-500 miles (for me this is 3-4 months) or whenever my knee starts hurting.

Now I have to say this pair is closer to the 500 marker. Not something I do often. But I've become rather attached to this pair since I PRed in them. However, it has come time to retire them. Put them in the closet to use at the gym, but no more running in them. And after sometime there they will be donated to a running non-profit.

But it also means picking up a new pair, while in Austin this week, which is always exciting. But should I go with the Ravennas or the Adrenalines? I guess I can decide that then.
