Notes
first - tried new shoes to try to address knee pain i have been having for past several weeks. ordered a pair of the poorly reviewed brooks pureflow 5's and they were as reviewed. terrible. definitely on my mind those first miles as i was trying to get used to them. very firm like the Kinvaras, and stiff. upper is almost plasticy and the tongue on the right was cutting into my foot. very very tight and narrow shoe, especially across the ball of my foot, so my feet were uncomfortable most of the run.
very easy run today, felt like as soon as i was getting warmed up it was time to ease up and head for home. i did just about as much easy running today as i was running with effort. taper is nice :)
