More new kicks

Another easy day on the treadmill. Slowly, I'm getting my legs back underneath me. I'll be ready to go come the weekend to go hard for 16 more days. Then that's the end of "training". After that it's peaking and tapering.

Another new pair of shoes debuted tonight. Today's selection was Nike's Zoom Hayward 3+. I found these a bit spongier than the Katana's. They are relatively light (heavier than the Katanas, but lighter than the Zoom Elites I was using), and feel good on the feet, but there's something about the cushioning that feels odd. It doesn't cushion the impact as much as most training shoes, but isn't just a non-cushioned racing flat. There's something there, but it doesn't do much. It feels a bit odd underfoot. These will take a few more wears before I can give a complete review.

Run: 4 miles @ 7.5 mph + 4 strides
