My new, two week old adidas supernovas are cursed.
I am totally blaming them for all my recent foot problems, as well as anything else I can think of. I'm not 100% sure it is them, but I feel so strongly that I can contemplate even wearing them to the grocery store never mind for a marathon.
Here's the evidence.
First wore them Nov 2, couldn't walk Nov 3 .... maybe something wrong with foot
Nov 4 short run in them, Nov 5 long run in different shoes but foot in pain .... don't see connection
Nov 6 go to physio ... no running for four days
Nov 9 run 5k in evil shoes ... tender the next day, but nothing terrible
Nov 11 run 5k ... sore the next day
Nov 12 long run in shoes ... swollen foot with blood pooling under skin ... foot seems really screwed
Nov 13 pain ... now looking at new shoes with distain
Nov 16 5k in old shoes ... no pain next day at all
Nov 17 6k in evil shoes ... can barely walk
Nov 19 38k in old shoes ... today I feel great
It is so those shoes, I got suckered in by their pretty blue strips and comfy cushioning.
So today I bought yet another pair of shoes. I told J, he is not to sell me anything except Brooks, no matter how pretty all the other shoes are, I can't have them, even if I beg.
I love the colour!
I feel great after yesterday's just 4k short of a marathon run. My legs are slightly tender, but nothing to complain about, I should be ready to lace up my pretty new pink shoes tomorrow night!
