Today I went to the Georgetown Running Company to purchase a new pair of shoes from that Ben Cooke guy. My original plan was to buy another pair of the Nike's "designed by NASA scientists." My beloved space shoes, aka Lunar Trainers, have been very good to me the past 6 months. Not only did I run my first race in 10 years wearing the Lunars; I also was able for a brief period this Fall to finally get over the hump and run a few weeks without injury.
As it turns out, the Lunar Trainers have been retired. The picture above is Ben showing me the replacement model which I had to reject after a 2 min treadmill jog test. I ended up buying the Brooks Glycerin after trying out the Nike Vomero and an Asics model.
Ben and I chatted awhile about the frustration of being constantly injured for no reason at all. That seems to be a common theme with a Dusty Spikes crew. Hopefully the Brooks will last me until Spring when I can attempt the Pat Anderson flats only training again.
