I love my Brooks Pureflow2's!! They dont last very long (200 miles) but they are great! I cant wait to try a pair of the Pureflow3's!!
But for running in cold and on snow, nothing beats my Hoka's!

My PT and I also endorse this recommendation.

New SHOOZ for EVERYONE!!!

I'm missing more days than I'm doing pushups....but I am able to do 10 "real" ones in a row now. I need to get with the program.

10 for real pushups isnt bad for someone that claims to have no upper body strength.
I'm on a shoe buying hiatus for a while. I actually have 3 unopened boxes sitting in the back of the closet, waiting for something else to wear out. And I had to downloan an app to keep up with the miles on each pair. You are addicted to soda, I'm addicted to shoes.

I'm still at 50 a day on the pushups. THis year I think I will stick with sets of no more than 50 once get past that threshold. My shoulders have taken a beating the last couple of years with the the longer sets. All the swimming is actually making the shoulders feel better.

I tried on some Pureflows too actually. If I were the type to have specific "race shoes", I'd try them out. Crazy light. I needs me support and cushion though, for the pushin' you see. The dang Mortons demands I try at least a little bit to get the feet to cooperate.

I've still got a pair GTS's in the line up too. I really like them. Haven't run in the Glycerines though. But over all I'm really happy with Brooks. I find the sizes to be really consistant. I'm a 10 in every shoe the make.
I also like the new Adidas Energy Boosts. I havent liked an Adidas shoe in years, but these are really nice!

Recently, all my running shoes have come from TJ Maxx or Marshall's (where they've had some nice bargains)

I have a pair of PureFlow (probably Mod 1) that I've only run 3 times in. More cushioning than I'm used to, but not bad.

Also from TJ's and Marshall's; I have an embarrassing number of pairs of Merrells, which I do love. Mostly Trail Gloves, one pair of Flux Gloves. I'm intrigued by the Vapor Glove, maybe I'll see that on sale sometime.

Most unusual shoe I run in (although not in winter) isn't really a shoe at all; Xero running sandals.

I saw the Xero's when I was in Denver (they are based in Boulder as I recall). I was intrigued, but they a little too minimal for me. I am a natural heel striker and can only to minimal shoes for shorter runs on a soft natural surface. I use my 5 fingers for those types of runs.

Seems like they designed after the foot ware that the Tarahumara indians wear....but I might be wrong on that.

^^ That'd be my assumption as well BBB. There've been quite a few running sandals I've seen in various places over the past year.

I'm not curious enough to try it out, but I am curious!

BBB, if you're a heel striker, I understand completely. I'm not a heel-striker, so I don't have the same issue.

Ed, we saw a lot of people in last years OKC Marathon running in various forms of minimals and two guys running completely barefoot. Both were strong, forefoot runners.
I can run forefoot for shrter periods and it does force me into more foot speed. But I really have to concentrate in order to do it.
The ones that really amaze me are the few people that I see that are complete toe runners. I mean "Lon Chaney in the Wolfman" toe runners!

There's a woman who runs in my subdivision, and... no lie, all on the toes and she kicks her feet up behind her. She also doesn't pump her arms, so the end result is a woman trotting like a horse. She's clearly in shape though, so it must be working for her!

Does she ever "break stride"? (Sorry, standardbred humor that only horse racing degenerates like me will get.)

A running version of Prancercise?

Ha Ha. I was at a Pose running clinic where one of the coaches said, If you think it's Prancercise, you're watching the wrong videos.

For how good she looks, I may just start.

Creeper...following around good looking female runners. Sheesh, at least don't publicly announce it!

I see her when I'm walking the dogs.

Of course.

just don't look that expression up in the urban dictionary

Also, dont offer her a medal....JS.

For those that have considered the "try your pushups with a pounding headache experiment", no need too. I did it this morning and cannot recommend it.

But you did 'em anyway, because you're a man!
