With more than 500 miles logged on my first pair of 101s, things started to go a bit haywire. The tread has, understandably, worn down about 75%, making it difficult to navigate dusty declines and slick rocks. I had adjusted to the tread, however. Unfortunately, within the span of a few miles earlier this week, something that felt like a rogue pebble in my left shoe quite suddenly became an incredibly apparent broken rock plate. This is problematic for a few reasons: first, the rock plate began digging into the bottom of my foot and second, a broken rock plate no longer does its job. With a monster of a race looming in about four and a half weeks, I knew it was time to replace my much loved kicks. I briefly thought about trying the New Balance Minimus, but decided to stick with what has done me well and bought a second pair of 101s. Hopefully this pair isn't a set of lemons and will get me through the end of next month reasonably well.
