Figs or Free...a dilemma.

So I am on my last night in Dominica, it's not late but everyone is sleeping, so I blog.
I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands...or shall I say, my feet.
Back in March, I bought a pair of Newton's...again...rekindling a romance with performance from two years earlier.
Two weeks ago, before leaving for this trip, on a whim I bought a pair of Nike Free's.
I admit it was an impulse purchase based solely on wanting to say I have them, but I also really did think they wold be a great alternate of the Newton's on non-run option mornings of SealTeam .
So I tried them on a Monday SealTeam...cautious, went out slow...but nothing but heaven!
Wednesday brought a repeat as well as that Friday, an awesome workout.
So I saw and felt what they could do in X-Training, but the real test was yet to come.
Once I was to the island this week, I had planned out my workout schedule, run days, and X-Training.
I decided to try a run day in the Free's...5 miles on the hilly terrian and roads of Dominica.
Um, wow!
So all week my Newton's sat quietly on the closet shelf along with my orthotics.
I haven't worn either in over a week...and it hasn't bothered me or my knees.
So as I prepare to return to reality, I wonder what will happen once I am home.
Free's or Fig's for runs?

Run safe, run happy!
