Improvements come, slowly but surely, don't they?

I am very happy with my new shoes and think they are just what I needed. I'm still experimenting a bit with the heel lifts, though. I think it might be helpful for one leg, but detrimental to the other. Do you know anything about using heel lifts?

I understand they do a very professional analysis of one's running stride/gait and I'm curious what they would say about mine.

Yes, I'm pleased. I could tell I wasn't quite as energetic as I was for the two half-marathons I've run this past year, but the pace numbers I posted below this post show I ran faster in the 5K than I did in either of the halfs. For the past two months, I've reduced my distance so I could focus on running faster, and I think it's paying off.

How do you like your new shoes?
