They were THAT bad?
I knew that my running shoes were getting to the end of their service life, but I figured they still had a good number of kilometres left in them. Clearly I was wrong! I also figured that doing all of these kilometres in trail runners wouldn’t be that bad for me. Wrong again! I knew that I was going to get a reaction out of the Running Room staff when I showed them my shoes, but not THAT good of a reaction.
In summary, although I had blamed my recent (light) injuries and training difficulties to eating wrong and pacing wrong, it all comes down to (well, at least a huge part of it was) the lack of life in my shoes. After putting about 200km on them in the last couple of months alone, the previous two years of punishment has summed to one dead pair of shoes.
Hmmm…what is it going to be like now?!

Two shoe stories in a row!
What kind did you end up getting?
Hmmm...maybe I'll try to continue on a shoe theme...
I got the Asics 2100. No matter how much I try to convince myself that I have an adidas foot, I've had three different people on different occasions put me in the same Asics shoe.
why am I not surprised that Andrew would do marathon training in a pair of beat up trail runners? (mental image of seat post reinforced by red webbing comes to mind) Still, you've gotta love the "what the..." reaction. I got it when I took my bike in last year ("I have no idea how you could have possibly done this...").
