I tried picking stuff out on my own and it ended badly, so no more guesses on my part... Good luck with the Lunar Trainers. Anxious to hear how they work.Robert James Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047771979310771426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-43566288685292304642009-07-22T23:07:18.529-04:002009-07-22T23:07:18.529-04:00The ONLY thing that is keeping me on track is putt...The ONLY thing that is keeping me on track is putting myself out there. Haha, for me I need the accountability. If I think I have people watching me and expecting me to do well, then I will try harder.

I also run in the Kayano's but have had many of those toe blisters and have lost 3 nails (all from the marathon). Maybe I'll give Brooks another try. I'm actually in a ladies size 10 Asics now because I went up another 1/2 size to avoid those toe issues. <br /><br />Ha--I had just purchased the FIRST program book (do you want it or do you already own it?) and read it--very intriguing--the week before my coaching class. Then I took my training class--which advocated the opposite approach. I was going to sell Run Faster, Run Less on e-bay or something. One think I noticed in the marathon program is you start at a base of 13 miles and have,what, 5 twenty-milers? That was a big thing in training. In one or two 20-milers, your body does not adapt to that distance. But with 3, 4, or 5, you can run strong up through 20 on race day. That may be the ONLY thing the two training plans have in common. I think I've got 4 20-milers scheduled. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing how it works for you. You are already really fast though!RunnerMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256586100139898901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-42332081441369870712009-07-21T22:25:59.962-04:002009-07-21T22:25:59.962-04:00i loooove the kayano 15s :)i loooove the kayano 15s :)Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-1268477443522884552009-07-21T16:41:05.961-04:002009-07-21T16:41:05.961-04:00Interesting what you say about Asics giving you pr...Interesting what you say about Asics giving you problems with blisters and black toe nails. I have exactly the same problem with my Asics Gel Nimbus 10s when I go long in them. The beauty of Asics Gels though is the cushioning. When I wear my Nike Air Pegasus I don't get blisters, but the cushioning isn't as good, though acceptable. My trusty favourites are mizunos. Very light, good cushioning and no/very few blisters. I check out the Brooks shoes next time I'm buying as I'm hearing good reports about theseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-2440853348375120062009-07-21T16:30:25.469-04:002009-07-21T16:30:25.469-04:00I'm not a girly girl with lots of shoes, but I...I'm not a girly girl with lots of shoes, but I do love me some running shoes! My boyfriend is a size 13/14 so he can never find running shoes either!<br />I've actually never run in either asics nor brooks, but maybe the next shoes I get, I'll try the asics gel trainer 14s. <br />Kudos to you for sending your shoes to charity! :) I should start doing that as well.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147492853832515411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-50575260297029333572009-07-21T15:07:24.812-04:002009-07-21T15:07:24.812-04:00I too love running shoes.

I may have to give Brooks a try. :)B.o.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09778073562721277426noreply@blogger.com
