The other day I went to grab my E's (my shoes that are labeled E) because it was their turn to run. Since they were a bit messy with dried mud all over them I had to carry them to the door and that is when upon turning them over I noticed what you see in the picture to the left here. They have been destroyed. I took them out for their run and when I got back I looked up their mileage. They supposedly only have 390 miles on them. Is it possible I have such bad form that in only 390 miles I can do this to a pair of shoes? Clearly I am a heal striker but apparently I also don't lift up my leg. Oh my. I hate to take the blame for the destruction seen here so I think I will blame it on the pavement. It couldn't possibly be that on the second or third day of running double digit mileage that as my legs get tired I just shuffle. No way. I would never shuffle :). It has to be the pavement. I think the only solution here is to resort to trail running only. Oh wouldn't that be nice. Think I have to move for that to happen. I guess it is time to start looking into yet another pair of shoes. sigh!Saturday, January 16, 2010

Yikes! I'd say you're right...time for a new pair of shoes!
Went and gave mine a look after seeing yours, time for me to get another pair and start rotating. Getting some wear on my heel too, don't feel alone. I overpronate alot.
Ha ha, nice to know I am not alone on this :) and that I am not the only one who didn't notice :). Now to find new shoes.
