The Body Said Stop

Today the goal was to run 4 miles. I ran 2.5 miles. So what happened? Today I tried a pair of Asics Nimbus. Normally I wear the Brooks Dyad. The Nimbus is a comfortable shoe. It is Asics most cushioned neutral shoe. I could walk all day in it. I can't really run in it as I found out.

Most cushion usually means a softer feel. My feet and legs don't know what to do with a lot of cushion. For the start of the run I felt good. After a mile though I felt a bit wobbly. So what did this do to me? I felt a twinge of pain in my left knee at mile 2. I gave it another 1/2 mile, but I felt it twinge even more. I didn't want to push anything, so I stopped. I thought it was the right thing to do. I can always do 4 miles another day.
