re: tOfficial Running Shoe Thread

officially retired my Brooks Ghosts 9s.

over 500 miles on them and the lower was still kicking. the upper was just beat to heck and done for. i was embarrassed for people to see them in public with all the fraying on the heel collar and stains of dirt i couldn't get out.

little sad to do that as it's the first "nice" shoe i bought 2 years ago when i decided to start trying to do this running thing more seriously.

i haven't tried the 10 or 11, but to date, it's the best running shoe i've ever had and i'll probably go back at some point. not the fastest, not the most cushioned, but by far the most versatile shoe in my collection. didn't mind them for speed work or a long run.

Skechers GoRun 600 came out of the closet. i'm fairly certain i won't get as many miles on them, but i enjoyed a good tempo run this morning in them. first time i tried to push and was pretty pleased.
