Personal:

I'm married to Nan Kennard and she kicks my butt at running.  She has beat me handily in every race we have done together except for a downhill mile we did once.  She is my running inspiration.  I'd like to run a marathon with her someday and actually keep up.

Did a super easy mtn. bike ride this AM with a friend who has never been mtn biking.  He did great, it was nice to get out and just spin the legs, be in the beauty of the mountains and hang out with a friend.  Not much of a workout, but a good time.

This evening the kids were running around the block, so we started having family races around the block.  That was fun.  The kids did 3-4 quarter mile laps barefoot around the block and I did a couple with them.  Its funny to see how fast they get winded, but they love it.  And they stop after a quarter mile and just guzzle the water and hold their chest that hurts.  Totally fun running with the kids.

I had a quick question for you concerning your Roclite 295's. Do you think that they run true to size? If they do, would you suggest going a half size bigger due to the beating trails can put on the feet?

Thanks

I got size 11, the size I generally get in shoes is 10.5 to 11 depending on the shoe...my foot is closer to 10.5 in length, but is wide. I think sizing up a half size in these would be wise because it will give you more toe room and the shoes can be tightened a lot to eliminate moving around, while still leaving great toe room. I like the shoes a lot for that reason, most toe room I have ever felt in a shoe while still allowing a snug fit everywhere else.

Just ordered my size 11's. I'm a 10 1/2

as well. Looking forward to them.
