New Shoes, New Route, New Me?

Another Friday Morning. I went to the new shoe store in town, which caters to runners. I got on a treadmill there (hate those things) and got my gait diagnosed. The nice fellow there showed me how I overpronate in a neutral shoe, and hooked me up with some structured shoes to help correct that. A second trot on the treadmill showed that the new shoes were helping.

Today was my first chance to try them out, and though I usually don't go long in a brand new pair of shoes, I thought I'd chance it since I'm trying to get my mileage up, and the weather is agreeable. I went out University and up Donahue, then cut along College up to Thach, and back via Gay Street. A lot of old bits and pieces put together in a new way. Check out my first experiment with using tables for the data, below.
