Thanks Alan, you are right. I need not to freak out so much... This week can't be done soon enough...
Meanwhile, I got myself some nice new shoes, going back to ASICS Nimbus 15 this time, for the winter running... I bought some Nimbus 13 last Fall and they gave me almost 575 miles before I moved on with the Ghost 6 in the Spring. Thing is, last Fall I was barely helped by the local sports store salesman and basically lucked out in picking the Nimbus. When I finally went to a runners store, they guys told me they were quite ok for me but that by looking at how they fit on me, I had picked one size too small. My Ghost (6 and now 7) are size 10.5 while the Nimbus 13 were size 9.5. I now feel the huge difference whenever I put them back on so today I bought my Nimbus 15 in size 10.5, from the same local sports store on their end of season clearance sale. The current model of those shoes is Nimbus 16. Didn't even need a salesman this time. Picked a box from the table, sat down, tried them, walked/jogged with them, they felt the same as the 13 although a bit looser. put them back in the box and THEN was asked if I need assictance.
I liked how the sole was when running on packed snow last year and wasn' sure the Ghost would handle the same so I'll keep the Ghost for the inside and will alternate with the Nimbus for the some inside and all outside running once the snow arrives, hopefully not before many more months
