The shoes have arrived!

My shoes for Boston were in the mail today! I took a bit of a gamble by ordering the new Asics Gel Kayano 14's, based on good reviews, and on the fact that I have been running on Kayano 13's. I took them for a test run in Frick park, and I am pleased about them: they fit a bit better at the heel, and have a bit more room for the toes. That will reduce the black toe problems. 

It was good to run in Frick park again, after running on the road and on the track all the time. Frick was the reason to pick up running again: when we moved here, I decided to buy a pair of runnings shoes (Kayano 10's, yes I stick to shoes I like), and started with short half hour runs in the park. And now Boston is on the horizon! On the virtual run you can see that I am closing in: in the bottom left corner you can see todays 5.4 miles, Boston obviously in the top right corner, and the blue marker top-left of the middle is Hopkinton.
