My canal capers, plus more Nike diatribes
Not strictly a training diary entry, but worthy of web space nonetheless. Whilst walking our puppies by the canal tonight (near Ufton Nervett), our 12 week old Keeshond, Buzz, fell in. He then proceeded to swim away from the edge, making picking him out from dry land nigh on impossible. Thus, I had to dive in and save him, resulting in my getting soaked to the skin in shitty canal water and nearly writing off my grey Nike Free 5.0's (they're washable thankfully, just about). Strange evening, and I was fortunate that the temperature was quite high, hence the walk back to car allowed me to dry off somewhat.On a different note, I got my hands on a pair of Nike Air Pegasus 2005 at Sweatshop today, so I can now offer a more 'hands-on' evaluation. My concerns about the air-bubble appear to be unfounded, as the thing is absolutely rock solid! A positive update to the shoe is the addition of a small, plastic medial arch support. However, the negative changes outweigh the positive in my opinion. The shoe appears to be completely inflexible! If there is Nike Free technology integrated into the shoe (aledgedly the deeper flex grooves), I'm clearly failing to see it. The shoes feel so rigid it's frightening. Show/Hide this post [+/-]
