My Asics Kayano 15s & Me

Thanks for all the comments regarding my infatuation with my new shoes!

I'm happy to say that I still love them. I ran almost 3 miles today and they feel amazing! I felt no pain in my joints while running. My ankles and knees didn't complain at all after my run!

Saturday is our training group 10-mile run. This will be the true test of our love... through uphills & downhills... in dirt or on concrete... for better or for worse... if my Kayanos remain faithful, I will pledge my undying love.

At least until I wear them out.

Best thing about new shoes? As they get older, you can always regain that "first date" feeling - just spend $80-120 and buy a new pair. Few things in life work that way!

No joint pain! Ooh, it's great when all it takes is a new pair of shoes. May it continue through 10 miles and more!

Keep us updated on the shoes. I used to run in Kayano's all the time (13s, 14s). I recently "downgraded" to the 2140s only becuase I found the Kayanos were only giving me about 250 miles of wear to each pair. Made running pretty expensive.

I found with my 2140s, they took about 100 miles or so to start feeling really good. I like them now - but still not as much as the Kayanos.

Also, thanks for stoppin by my blog earlier today!

A Few of my Favorite Things Giveaway & Happy Blog Birthday!

Image
Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday, dear Blo-ooog... Happy birthday to blog! One year ago today I posted my very first running blog post. If you feel so inclined, you can read it here .  The funny thing is, I thought I had come up with an original idea:  I would chronicle my marathon-training journey for all the world to see! It didn't take long to discover that there were lots of people out there with running blogs.  Did I mind?  Heck, no!  What I lacked in originality, I gained a hundred-fold in support, encouragement, and knowledge from this incredible community of runners. I believe there is a good chance that I would have given up on running and training if it weren't for my Running Blogger Friends.  Your stories, experiences, triumphs, trials, and heart-breaks have kept the running spark alive in me.   I consider each of my Running Blogger Friends a blessing. In order to thank you and to celebrate my b...

Goals and Plans for 2010

Image
I'm caving into the peer pressure and decided to blog about my goals (or "resolutions" if you prefer).  I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but, as always, I've been inspired by my Running Blogger Friends. Health Goals Eat more fruits and veggies... in fact, as of three days ago, I'm a vegetarian.  I'm going to go month-by-month on the whole vegetarian thing.  I'm trying it out to see if being a vegetarian makes me feel any different.   Eat more raw foods Drink at least 60 ounces of water everyday Cut back on sugar Training Goals Ride and Run a total of 2010 combined miles Strengthen my core, ankles & feet, and upper body Join a running group Run or cross-train five days a week Get custom orthotics if current injury-eliminating endeavors don't work   Personal Goals Get clean laundry put away before the pile turns into Mt. Everest I try to be realistic when I set goals.  I think all of those goals are do-able.  We...

Lazy Slug Award

And the Lazy Slug Award goes to... SARA JONES of Running through Life! Acceptance Speech "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! I- I can't believe it! I don't know what to say except, er... um... thank you? There are just so many- so many others I'd like to thank for helping me achieve this... this... honor? First, I'd like to thank my 'right hand man'... Left Foot! I couldn't have done it without you. You've been there for me since before Right Knee Pain left me. Every time the sun comes up, there you are! Your multiple visits with me throughout the day are constant reminders that I can't get out there and run. So, I owe much of my Lazy Slug success to you. Next, I'd like to thank Sleep Les Ness . Sigh... What can I say about Mr. Ness? You usually travel with others when you come to visit. You especially like to show up with my sons when they sneak into my bed in the middle of the night. Or when they wake up early. Sometimes you even surprise ...
