The Sign

00900

The sign could not have been clearer...

Our lives are governed by numbers and I have always been fascinated by them.
I always like "symmetrical" numbers... Can't blame me, it start from birth. =D

Ill-prepared I may have been for this race, I will still take the risk.

Went for a 4.5km run in my Newtons this evening...
The feeling of running again is great!
Having a PYT as a pacer during the run is a bonus. =D

Now comes the question. What shoes should I wear for the marathon?

1) First choice - The ever reliable Asics Kayanos. This pair of shoes took me through 2 marathons. It is a heavy pair of shoes though and I tends to kena black toes...

2) Second choice - Current favourite Newtons... This seems the logical choice. I have no issues with them for 21km... But a full marathon is twice the distance!!!
I also sayang the shoes, dun wanna see it kena tortured for 42km... =p
It is a light pair of shoes and is well ventilated...

3) Third choice - Asics Noosa Tri. This pair of shoes came into mind during the run.
Light weight, I will offer me the benefit of the Newtons during the race.
It is as durable as my Kayanos. I have the best of both worlds.
The longest distance that this pair of shoes have seen is 10km though...
It is a pair of racers...
But since I dun land hard on my heels any longer, my knees should be fine without the heel support.
It is 0.5 size smaller and will support only 1 pair of socks...
For marathons, I always wear 2 pairs of socks...

2 pairs of socks - A lesson well learnt from my army route marches. A combination of Injinji and WrightSock... Again, a best of both worlds combi which has served me well through my 2 marathons... Cannot say the same thing for the socks though. =D

Given the beating that the socks take, can I afford to go with only 1 pair of socks?

I need advice!!! Thanks!!!
