I forgot to take the Fivefingers this week. I had the Nike shoes with me. Was very skeptical about them. Decided to do a slow 3M in them. And my worst fears came true.
The whole run was uncomfortable. My running stride was not smooth. The foot strike was awkward. And it was not too far when the pains started. I made sure I ran as slow as I could.
I had 4M scheduled, but decided 3M was more than enough. The LYR app wouldn't run right either.
In the end, I was glad I could just finish.

I must admit though. I felt that my foot strike was not as noisy. Also, I thought I ran a wee faster. Are they just the wrong shoes?
