Tuesday May 15, Miles today 6, Miles from Springer 0

I flew up my favorite steep hill in my new hiking shoes.  It was the first time this year that my wind gave out before legs.

I went shopping for shoes yesterday looking over trail runners and hiking shoes. My primary criteria was comfort and durability.  After trying on several pairs of shoes and trail runners I settled on some Vasque Breeze III low shoes.  They felt much more comfortable than my boots, weighing over a pound less, having Vibram soles so I wouldn't feel every rock on the trail and Gortex tops for some water protection when combined with my low gaiters.  In the next couple months I will see how well they do.
