My old Adidas Adipreme had finally retired and replaced last week. Bought it in Taiwan around 3 years back and after that ran with it for numerous kms in the army, including AHM, training runs, and help me to pass my IPPT for the very first time and also wore it for cycling trips, floorball trainings etc. Sadly shoes do not last forever and the sole drop off bit by bit till it's almost unwearable.
In: Asics Gel-1130
Out: Adida Adipreme
So, here come my new Asics Gel-1130 which I bought at runninglabs last week. Comfort-wise it is definitely superior to my past shoes though design-wise it's only so-so. Went for a debut short run last week and I can feel the difference between good shoes and not so good shoes. Today, decided to go for a longer run. Unfortunately, one treadmill in the gym is down and an old man arrived one minute earlier than me and took the remaining treadmill. Having no choice, I decided to run outside and chose to run a new route. Not easy to run with so many roadworks going on as I had to go on the road then pavement then road and at one point where I had to go down to the road from the pavement and I landed rather awfully and there goes my ankle. Sprained it and looking back I ran for only 500m or so from my starting point. What rotten luck. Not a good time to sprain considering I'm going Bangkok soon and I guess that I can't run too far for the time being too. At this rate I will be so far behind my training schedule for my marathon. Haiz.
