Almost Time For A New Pair Of Shoes

It looks like it is getting near time to get a new pair of running shoes. I logged another 14 miles this morning, mostly in the rain. This pair of Vibram Five Finger Remixes have just over 762 miles on them. I can probably eek out another hundred by spreading some Shoe Goo on the bottom. I have to start doing that after about 500 miles. It is getting bad though. The uppers are holding up well though. Other than being dirty, I cannot really tell the difference between this pair and the fresh pair in my closet that is on deck.

It is interesting to see the wear patterns on the bottom. They are definitely not the same for the left and right. The left tends to wear on the outside, the right on the inside. I should probably learn from that and try to adjust my stride.

Not a big fan of running longer distances in the rain. Anything under an hour or so is fine, but more than that and you have to start seriously considering chafing issues. Wet clothes will rub you raw in a hurry.
