Also, @ks, looks like Adidas is doing a Terrex version of the Evo SL. Announced at TRE, due out next year.

Boston 13 for $96.

Just checked Adidas eBay store. They have select sizes of Boston 12 for $61 after coupon. Sizes 7, 7.5, 8, 12. They run a half to full size long.

Been there done that. Unfortunately it was my current wife got me into running, I do try to use that argument from time to time but doesn’t go very far :lol:

The Boston 12 is solid, firm and snappy ride. Doesn’t feel like it’s as high stacked as it is. Haven’t tried the 13 but have heard it’s not as good.

I fell into CyberMonday frenzy and grabbed some Mizuno Neo Zen’s for $90 yesterday.

It was awful. Though even 3.5 miles into the race I was still dodging walkers. Old farts that just have to be up front…

First time I post here all season. Enough is enough, appreciate Slot for last season but time to go. Defense is arse too.

Reporting back on my trail half. Ran the Armadillo Dash Trail HM in Norco by the Spillway on Saturday. Managed to grab seventh overall and first in my age group with a time of 1:59:33.

The course is on a single track mountain bike trail, obviously not much elevation but lots of switchbacks and tree roots. Had to run one 5k loop then two 5 mile loops which resulted in the course running long by nearly 0.70 miles and I felt all of that extra mileage lol.

Felt great the first two loops, kind of settled in with some good groups. Attempted to pick the pace up a bit for the last loop but bonked hard for the last mile. Plus my shoes were killing me, definitely needed a half size up on the Speedland GS:TAM. I never get blisters but came away with two on my left foot. Already cleaned the shoes and will be offloading them soon.

All in all, really fun race that I’ll try to do every year. I thought race production was good, trail was marked well, wish they would’ve warned us the course runs long and wish the weather would’ve been cooler. Post race was great with live Cajun music, unlimited Urban South beer, burgers, jambalaya, and some other snacks.

On was also a race sponsor and they had the Cloudultra 3 and Cloudultra Pro for demo. I didn’t use them for my race but wish I would’ve in hindsight. Was telling tbe On rep how I love the Cloudmonster Hyper and have multiple pairs, dude ran to his car and comes back with the Cloudmonster Hyper 2. He let me try them on and I cannot wait for that release. They look and feel amazing. Basically a road going Cloudultra 3.

I’ve only done the Laketown 10 miler like 3 years ago, and reading up on it I now see that Chuck has since retired and handed everything over to Lazy Hound. So I guess I have no experience with them lol.

I’ll report back this weekend.

Well, 5k went over like a turd in a punch bowl.

Had a slightly sore throat Wednesday, legs felt a bit achey Thursday and Friday, woke up with a totally clogged nose this morning. Cleared my sinuses and went out to City Park and just figured I’d give it my best shot…best shot lasted about 1.8 miles, unfortunately.

Another year, another failed Corporate Classic.

Also, this weather, no bueno.

I'm an Asics brand ambassador so disclaimer but I've never had a bad experience with their carbon shoes.

Oh I have zero issue with Asics shoes except that they seem to never go on sale. I was just pointing out they fumbled the marketing on the Edge and Sky.
