New Kayano's -- doesn't get any better than that...

In preparation for IMKY, I purchase some new Kayano 14's from the local shoe store. There is nothing better than running on brand new shoes. The cushion on the feet makes you feel like your running on cotton balls -- well, almost.

Last year I purchased a new pair of Kayano's right before IMWI. It certainly made the shuffle...errr...running portion of the IronMan a bit easier. I've used the same pair of Kayano's ever since last years IronMan, so it was time. My legs let me know when it is time to get new shoes as my hamstrings, calfs, and just overall legs start to ache a bit on the run. I ordered the new shoes last week and stopped running until I got the order in -- just didn't want to take a chance of having my legs causing me problems.

Ten days until I lace em up -- seems a bit easier on the mind this year compared to last year -- the pressure is a bit less.
