I actually saw a guy running barefoot on the street one time last year, I noticed him running my opposite direction on the other side of the street, and a couple of minutes, I started running back and we crossed paths again, this time on the same side and the guy was running pretty fast, and I saw he had no shoes, and he was on the sidewalk, proper running gear, water bottle and everything, just no shoes, I couldn't believe it

I now wait for Mcleod to stack in with another 30 odd KM

I don't know. There's so much more than that.
It's not so much about "brands", appearance, shoe technology, etc... it's about what works with your feet and your body motion.You could easily have a dude get injured using Asics simply coz Asics might not be the right shoes for him even if the brand Asics focuses on running and are pioneers in this area. This same dude could feel amazing with some overpriced and fancy puma shoes and not get injured with them.
Like what we were talking with Leo a few challenges ago...... it's better to go with a specialist and get a GAIT analsys done to you to figure out your problems and be able to find the right shoes regardless of brands and fanciness.

I'm going to do one last attempt today to see if I can still run.
no more than 3k is my goal
- Dancer0
So I now have 2 sportsbands (thanks to lvl_13) Does anyone want to buy a Brand new one off me?

tried running trails today with the dog - omg my legs

Your doctor could well be right Meeklo, but I for one have made a large improvement in pace and the acute tendinitis I had in both ankles has now gone since changing my running shoes.... I could be wrong though
(they were almost 2 years old though)
- Meeklo0
Ok I'm back, ankle stings a bit, shoes overall where pretty comfy.
Did proper stretches and will ice the area in a bit- Did you just join the team challenge?VectorMasked
- oh... ,maybe let me checkMeeklo
- I am now!Meeklo
- VectorMasked0
wtf!?! Dancer has two runs already!
get back to work dude!
- Meeklo0
I'm ready!
I got these fugly ass shoes to replace my previous ones, in hopes that I wont get hurt again if there is any chance it was the shoes.My general perception of all running shoes is that there ugly as hell, most of them have that gray mesh or look super loud, an equivalent of those people that love to put all this racing hardware to their honda civics, including custom painted tribal curls and shit like that.. why is that?
with the exception of the nike free and a couple of shoes by puma, most of them look like shit
- just run fast so no one will be able to see the shoes. lol.akrokdesign
- i love ascics. they're all i run in. I used to run in cool nikes and always got hurt.flutter
- really flutter? you bring hope to my feet, my last pair was nike too
I'm off to running in 20minMeeklo

what are the best headphones for running? I wish we could use bluetooth headphones with this but since the nike+ takes up the spot we have to go wired. Just curious how you guys keep your headphone cords out of the way and if there are headphones great for working with the nike+ I prefer in ear ones
- I would probably stay away from headphones when runningMeeklo

congrats everyone who ran... softball is over, so i can finally get this knee completely rehabbed and get in for the next challenge whenever it may be
- VectorMasked0
and Asics!! yikes! at least they'll help with your pain.
Just be thankful you are not 15 anymore, otherwise other teens would beat the crap out of you if they see you on the street with those.
But hey, whatever needs to be done to get healthier is good.

I might do a quick run this evening

as far as earphones, I like the sony fontopia (old model) the best.
On top of not having those dangerous rubber movable parts, it has volume control on the wire. this is huge to me as usually the cable is far more accesible/ easier to control than having to use the ipod's controls.If you can find them online, they should be under $30
