Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 3 hours in the marathon

Run a trail ultra

 Find a way to run high mileage without injuring myself. My current theory is that transitioning out of my super-cushioned shoes into more minimalist shoes or bare feet will help improve my form and make this possible.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run a 100 mile race.

Personal:

I am happily married to Jenni. We have three energetic little boys who also enjoy to run. Jenni and I are both going to try learning how to run without shoes this year.

Approximately 16 miles this morning in my New Balance 790s. I think I'm in love! These shoes gave me the little bit of extra support I needed for my damaged ankles while still letting me run with good form. I thought they have just the right amount of cushioning. I could have run longer, but had to get back home to family obligations. I think these will be the shoes for my 30 mile run.

Awesome!! I'm glad to hear they worked well for you. I think I would like running in the 790's too if they were wider. Mine just feel too tight in the toe area for my liking. Maybe if I would have got a half size bigger... I really like how thin the soles are though, and how flexible they are.
