I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- Took the day off work to man an aid station on the Bear 100 course with Paul and families. Great times- very enjoyable though busy. Inspirational to see all these people doing such a challenging event. We were only at mile 22, so they looked pretty good still. Ran a few miles with Paul while waiting for runners. Paul added some excitement by doing a Superman impression onto the rocks, while I bruised my OTHER foot. Ugh. All I can say is that when Mizuno trail shoes reach their mileage limit, a switch somehow goes off such that ALL cushioning disappears. Pathetic. I will never wear those shoes again. Ran 4 miles around home later in the afternoon before heading to Idaho.

Adrenaline- 149, Ascend- 382 retired!!! Sad that the shoes didn't even last 400 miles. First time ever. I won't buy those again!

Mizunos are so frustrating like that! I had a pair that died before 400 miles and injured my foot when I ran after it hit that "off switch." I'm not getting them EVER again! Hope your foot gets feeling better in the next week!

Glad to know it's not only me. I had a pair of CC flats a long time ago from them I liked, but nothing since. And nothing in the future.
