running shoes

running shoes, originally uploaded by Anjan Sarkar.

I used my relatively new ( explanation later) nike free fun shoes for my last two runs. And guess what? No knee swelling nor pain. Am happy. Nike free runs give minimal support. My initial runs resulted in severe shooting left knee pain the day after. I changed to new balance with a thicker sole and the pain disappeared. Lately, I've found this thicker sole runs less enjoyable and decided to chance it. Now, my options have increased from 2 ( new balance shoes) to 4 ( additional 2 free run shoes) to choose from during any run.
