New Shoes! I know - a week before a race isn't the right time, but I'm getting sick of the calf pain. Woke up with a lot of calf pain. Bought a pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 9, size 11. Pain $80 for them, which I thought was a lot. All the shoes were like $80+, and I found them on eBay just now for $65 + $11 shipping, so I don't feel too bad. The people at the shoe store were a big help, and I got to try on 4 pairs of shoes and took each for a quick 100yrd run. Got home and had to run them, so put a couple miles on them, and I feel fine. A twinge around the middle of the run that went away after like 30 strides.
