First the Health and Nutrition community, and now you guys? I have to get new shoes? Poo!
So--break in the orthotics in the new shoes, or are the orthotics already broken in? What's the consensus?

Hoping I can get some encouragement and advice, guys. I'm starting to worry about my June 1st 5k-- my second. I've been doing OHR and am up to a long run of 42 minutes/3.43 miles. My first 5k, 6wks ago, was a 35:17, which is an 11:22 pace. I'd like to PR this second one, but my training runs have slowed to 12-12:30 minutes/mile. I know part of it is adding distance, but I'm running even my 30 minute recovery runs at that speed. I'm trying to tell myself it's ok not to PR at every race, but I know I'll be disappointed if I don't PR this one. Am I doing anything wrong, or is this just a case of endurance training causing/necessitating a slowdown? Thanks for any input.
5k PR - 26:27 | 10k PR - ??? | HM PR - 2:09:14
