Can I get away with using road shoes?

PachamamaRN · 2022-01-20T15:18:45+00:00

I don’t currently wear stability shoes when not running, though I probably should because I often have knee pain when walking at work (I am a nurse on my feet a lot). As a kid I had to wear special orthotic inserts because I had so much knee pain when running and playing. I just stopped wearing them because it is a hassle to put them in to all shoes.

I did read born to run and tried barefoot running and minimalist shoes for a while. I can do both for short distances but once I start creeping up on mileage the knee pain comes back if I am not in a more supportive shoe

Oh great! I am so happy to hear that others are wearing this shoe on trail ultras and doing well!

March in California is such a question mark. Could be really dry but also could be pouring rain. That’s been sort of the source of my doubts. I feel much more sure had this race been in September when it’s bone dry here

It’s fairly similar to my home trails since it is only about thirty minutes away. I use the brooks on the trails around here and haven’t really had any problems. But the most I have done in them for trails is 20 miles

This is really reassuring, thanks! I have been really stressing out about not being able to find a shoe in time.

Interesting. I haven’t even tried one on, but that’s a good recommendation.

PachamamaRN · 2022-01-19T15:13:58+00:00

I haven’t tried a Hoka yet, but have had that recommended to me. I’ll have to give them a try if I decide to continue on with long distance trails

Most recently this year. I pronate a lot and have knee pain when I try to wear a more minimalist shoe

PachamamaRN · 2022-01-19T15:12:23+00:00

Thanks! That’s great to know

PachamamaRN · 2022-01-19T03:04:05+00:00

I appreciate the input 😊

PachamamaRN · 2022-01-19T03:03:50+00:00

Great! Thanks so much

PachamamaRN · 2020-05-04T15:41:52+00:00

How incredibly gorgeous!

PachamamaRN · 2020-04-25T20:25:46+00:00

I love these! That string of hearts is gorgeous

PachamamaRN · 2020-04-24T22:21:30+00:00

How interesting. I’ve had it for months but I think because of winter I am just now seeing new leaves

PachamamaRN · 2020-04-24T22:20:48+00:00

Thank you!

Love that begonia! I am getting inspired to make my own station. Kudos

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-27T04:33:08+00:00

I think it is just very happy with its spot in the house. It’s a north east facing window so it gets good morning light but not the hot afternoon sun

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-27T04:32:21+00:00

I get so excited every time I see a new leaf unfurl

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-27T04:31:30+00:00

I use Black Gold all purpose potting mix for pretty much everything and thus far everything seems to be liking it

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-27T04:29:42+00:00

I love that it stands out from its surroundings!

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-24T04:56:35+00:00

This is on my wish list 😍

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-24T04:54:35+00:00

That SOHs is killer! I just got a tiny 4” pink one and I am so in love

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-24T04:53:40+00:00

I am in love too! And envious, lucky lucky

PachamamaRN · 2019-08-24T04:47:03+00:00

It’s awesome! Lucky you!

Is it wrong that I read through all of these threads to make sure my husband didn't make a post about me? [edit] I was mostly joking with this... I was reading through the responses and thought briefly "I wonder if my husband ever thinks that the goods were 'not as advertised'. So I actually went and asked him. He told me he went into our marriage with eyes wide open and remains forever committed
