Ok, this is gonna be a short, but emotionally charged post, and I'll probably remove it later but I have to vent right now. I'm never, ever, ever wearing Newton running shoes ever ever again! I freakin hate these things! I've worn them in the past, loved them for a few weeks, and then wound up with a calf injury. So, my dumbass decided to take a pair (I have 3, like an idiot) out of the back of the closet and wear them for the last three weeks of base running I've done.
Like always, I had some lower leg soreness at the beginning-and this was to be expected. Soon after though, it would get worse, I'd rest a little, and then repeat. Finally, today, in an easy base run of an hour, my right calf got overloaded, tightened up on me, and ended my run. Luckily it was about a half mile from my house, and I had already hit the one hour mark, but WTF????
The real question is why the hell did I ever switch from rotating my Nike Lunar Glides and Nike Elites for these stupid things that have only hurt me in the past??? I guess I needed something to add some spice to my runs, but "F" that! I'm so done with these stupid shoes. I know they're not for everyone, but screw this. I've NEVER had a running injury, EVER! And I switch to these clown shoes and BAM! there goes the calf! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Back to my Nike's!!! They've NEVER let me down!
OK, rant over. Sorry if I offended anyone.
This is our new blog detailing our daily adventures, mountain bike racing, endurance sports, and maybe even some cooking (that's Anne's domain!). We will share our experiences with life, training, and most importantly, being a team-both in marriage and in our sport.
