Went to the store... And I got new toys!!!

[Hell-uv-a-job]

Yup... Me got some Speedplay pedals and Specialized Comp Carbon Rd shoes!!! I used them today and my knee pain was "almost" gone. I need to adjust the shoes using the shims included with the pedals since I tend to turn my RT foot laterally for some reason. I do that unconciously. I had to stop and tie my shoe, that way I cannot move my food inside the shoe at all. I know... sounds crazy. I had ZERO problems with the LT leg this time.
Did 27 miles today and did not fall once! Very (very!) easy to unclip the pedals. I felt very safe since I could get in and out very fast. Had a 2 minutes practice session and was on the roll! I don't know if i am getting in better shape but I was flying!! I think it was the shoe/pedals... i had a great ride today.
