Recovery run.  Running in my old shoes from 1 1/2 years ago had been changing how my muscles in my legs land and is allowing my achilles to heal.  Even after yesterdays run my form in the shoes helped my legs adapt to my old ways and today I am just sore in my quads, a bit in my left hamstring and hip, no achilles pain.  Yay!! This tells me that zeroes are not for me and also ascics are the style of shoe I need since I have had no major injury with them for the past 3 years.  If only I could find this same shoe new again.   I will try to look it up and see if its out there somewhere.  The new years model which I wore for the 850 plus miles the past few months did not fit the same way and caused issues with blistering and awkward fitting so going up a model may not help.  Saucony has too many grids on them and they angle inward, or at least the two I have run in in the past have.  I am thinking I am on the mend.  Just tight now.  Ran 7 miles at 8:20 avg pace.  6 th mile 7:29, got carried away.  The run ended up being a short progressive one.  Start slow 9:09, 8:41, 8:31, 8:27, 7:59, 7:29, 8:09 cooldown.  Wind still intense in places.  Cold unfortunately. Slept only 3 1/2 hours, the usual.  Off to work again in a few hours.  The NICU is so busy they are putting babies in the C-section rooms and the staff lounge.  Crazy.

AWESOME repeats yesterday and NICE recovery today! Glad you're figuring out the shoes thing. Have you tried ebay? I found some older models of my shoes that way.

Poor babies! Hope you have a semi-decent shift!

Sounds like a hectic night at work--glad the old faithfuls have your achilles feeling better. I am a total asics fan but their update of the model I liked does not agree with me. I never could really wear Nike but the air pegasus are treating me well and have a little more room in the toe box than most Nikes so I think that is my new favorite. Sauconys hurt my feet I couldn't wear them for more than a few minutes in the shoe store! Good luck with finding a good pair of shoes!
