Personal:

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- 7. Ran in my new Pearl Izumi shoes- look cool and fit great. Love them. Thanks, Hooper. Since I'm protesting Brooks and won't be buying them after 2 disappointing pairs of Adrenalines, I have a feeling that this may be the start of a long and beautiful relationship between PI and myself. My shoes are mainly New Balance and Saucony, but PI will be added to that list.

Pearl Izumi, huh? They are nice looking shoes. I was just thinking of ordering some new Adrenalines online because I've liked them in the past. But I've never tried PIs. What type of foot strike and arch do you have?

PS I'm glad you kept your job yesterday

Nan- I have a normal arch (maybe a bit flat) and overpronate a bit. I usually wear stability or light (moderate) stability shoes. Usually things like Saucony Omni, Brooks Adrenaline (though never again after having a pair wear out at 350 miles and another at 400 miles), New Balance 76X line, etc. I got the PI Pace and really, really like them.

Maybe I should try some different makes for the last too many years I have stuck to NIKE i know I know but they suit me and look good :-)
