Felt fantastic.

I ran on a pair of ASICS FuzeX a few years ago and remember really liking them.

Probably going to grab a pair after my Kinvaras go the distance.
Yeah I've got about 100 miles on my first pair of Torin 5s and just ordered a 2nd pair to rotate them with. LOVE them. Probably won't buy another pair of Riveras. Compared to the Torins and Lone Peaks, they just feel kinda cheap and shitty.

Good to know. I'm drawn to them because they look about as plush and stacky as my Kinvaras but with that zero drop + wide toe box design that I love in my escalante racers. The colors look sleek too.

Anyone here ever tried that Atreyu shoe subscription program? Their shoes look good and I like that they only have two types (daily trainer and carbon plated racer) but I'm not a big fan of a shoe getting less than 150 miles a pair by design.

nice work trag
after about 10 days off, went 3.14 miles in about 45 minutes yesterday evening.. it was pretty hot and muggy, pushed myself really hard and even got a little light headed in the end... dunno why it was so hard this time but it was definitely worth it.. probably going to mow when i get home today

6.4 miles this morning. Legs were tired and there was still quite a bit of air pollution from the fires. I wanted to push through and get to that 7 mile mark again, but I'm also not training for anything and didn't feel 100% good about pushing it. Still, as always, I'm glad I got out.

Good miles on this page. We should all mow for cross training. Joey, do you have anywhere you can mow?

Ive been congested all week due to seasonal allergies and that big cloud of Saharan dust that rolls in this time of year. Considered not going running much, but I'm doing it anyway. Turns out running is a pretty okay decongestant.

What? I don't even know how mowing could be a metaphor for that.
