I have a dilema. Currently I am running in Asics (2120). They have 328 miles on them. Last night on my run I noticed that the balls of my feet felt a little sore (like a bruise). I have never had this pain before. They feel fine today. I am attributing it to the shoes getting worn out. My problem is that I'm not goint to be able to replace them until a week from Wed. What should I do in the meantime. I am building a base from a previous injury and DO NOT want to get injured again. I figure I have about 5 or 6 more runs to do before I can replace my shoes. I have a pair of 2120 trails that are great but I do not envision being able to get to the trails to run in the next week? Should I run in them on the road? Should I just HTFU and get a few more miles (30ish) out of these shoes? Should I take a week offf (not really an option I want to consider)? Should I get on my hands and knees and beg my wife to let me put a new pair of shoes on the credit card tomorrow?
