Running 50:00 [1] 9.4 km (5:19 / km)
Well, regardless of whether I'm over my cold or not, I wanted to get out before the shop and try out my new shoes for next weekend, the Adidas Adios Boost. I really love running in my NB1600's, but after the St. albert 10miler's calf-maggeddon, I wanted to jack up the cush a bit, and everyone claims (and by everyone, I mean, Adidas) that this boost foam is the new shiznit.
And, its okay. Its weird because the foam is very squishy just by pressing on it. But when running it feels much firmer. Not nearly as soft as as Brooks Pure shoe, but it does have the smoothness feeling of my Pearlizumi N1's. Considering how little material there is underfoot (comparatively), it does feel like there's quite a bit of cushion while still remaining pretty light. I think I'm going to be making so weight sacrifices, but I would hope that the last 5k will be less painful than the 10 miler because of it, and I'll be able to maintain my form better.
And its, like, 400% humidity out there right now. I don't know how some people can live in conditions like that on a daily basis.
