Limping Marathon Runner

I can't run (for 5 weeks)! Already starting to have withdrawal symptoms - kept walking around. I had to drop out of Kedak Ultramarathon and Mizuno KL 10k.. that is really sucky.

So ... with Outdoor Specialist shifting, I bought a pair of climbing shoes. Now, I can't blame it on my shoes anymore. I tried on US 7.5 and I was obviously in pain. Oww. In US8, I felt much better. Not roomy, snug - tight fit and it fits like a pair of toe socks. Neat. Track mileage on climbing shoes? By number of steps I take?
