I am two weeks out of my goal race (my first half marathon). My shoes are at about 430 miles, which is about when i move on to a new pair. If I get a new pair before my race my best bet is buying them from a local running store instead of looking for deals and waiting for delivery on the net.
The only problem is I've been running in nimbus 9's for the past year, and It will probably be hard to still find a pair in a store. I guess I have the option of switching to a new shoe (i've been thinking of going cheaper with the brooks defyance), but I am hesitant about making the switch to a new pair of shoes, so close to my peak race.
Anyone have any suggestions/comments??????
