shoe lineup

It's been a long time since I've been this happy with my running shoe selection so I'm recording it for future reference.

Base mileage / LSD: Skechers GORun2. Light, flexible, spacious toebox, 4mm drop, doesn't try to "fix" bad mechanics. What's not to like? Also, Meb wears Skechers.

Speedwork: Adidas adipure Gazelle. Everything I said about the GORun2 but with less cushioning.

Racing: Adidas adizero PR. They weigh 3.9 ounces. Let me repeat that: They weigh 3.9 ounces.

There is, of course, some crossover here. I wouldn't wear the adizeros for a half-marathon. Ouchie. And I will occasionally wear the adipures for base mileage if it's the short-and-soft-surface variety.
