But it didn&#8217;t help that much.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this was the plan. Torture ourselves on a plane and then chase each other on a hard ride.<\/p>\n<p>This was one of those rides where I knew the route beforehand, and I knew where I wanted to shoot this little video, because of this curve and this sign.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mCuMldAm2lg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Do you know how hard it is to chase someone down and how difficult it is to get into, and stay in, the right spot for a precise moment? I found this to be very difficult that day.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m just cleaning some stuff off of my phone here.

The blue Kinvaras have been promoted to walking-around shoes, while the old black walking-around Kinvaras have been demoted to shoes which are &#8230; just in the way. (The left heel on the black sneakers had just sort of &#8230; collapsed.) Meanwhile, I was approaching the end of the running lifespan of the blue ones, so it was time all the way around.<\/p>\n<p>And these new shoes are fancy looking.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/july21\/july03.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Saucony redesigns their shoes all of the time, which befuddles real runners and mystifies me, too. Not all change is good. Somewhere around Saucony 5 they just turned these things into really shoes, rather than something people wanted to run in. But now, the Kinvara 12s feel like the running shoes of old. <\/p>\n<p>I wish I felt like the runner of old. Mostly I just feel &#8230; like I have new shoes.<\/p>\n<p>You thought I was going to say old, didn&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a little video clip I took the other day.
