I did the first week in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/?cat=35\">Five Fingers<\/a>; but after the third day, I started getting those little twinges in my calves that signal an impending muscle strain. So, I bought some traditional running shoes: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappos.com\/mizuno-wave-rider-12-silver-gunmetal-virtual-red\">Mizuno Wave Riders<\/a> and wore them for the next six weeks.

Something was not right.<\/p>\n<p>Am I too old for this? Did I forget how to run? Am I going too far too fast?<\/p>\n<p>Then I remembered: I've run in Mizuno's before. And I stopped using them because of... knee pain.<\/p>\n<p>So, I bought a new pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappos.com\/asics-gel-cumulus-11-white-black-gold\">Asics Cumulus<\/a>, a shoe I've used for many years, in the past.
