Interesting run this morning. I started out with an easy 5 miles, then tried to do a tempo run. It didn't happen. Too much ice, uneven footing, and cold temps. I was freezing this morning for some reason. I called it quits at 9 miles, went home to use the bathroom, then jumped on the treadmill for another 3. No headaches or vision issues. Good stuff.

Glad to see you didn't have the headaches or vision problems today. To answer your question about the Nimbus vs. Cumulus. I've really liked both shoes. The Cumulus are a little lighter, but I like the cushioning with the Nimbus. My last pair of Nimbus I ran over 400 miles in them and probably could have gone some more, but I kind of like buying new shoes, in fact if I could I would always be buying new shoes. Anyway, right now I have about 340 miles on the Cumulus and plan on getting another pair of them before too long. I have also tried two pairs of Asics DS Trainers but I haven't liked them as much as either the Cumulus or Nimbus. Another light Asics shoe I have is the Asics Speedstar I ran the marathon in those I liked them quite a bit. I used to be a Nike guy, but Steve Hooper has really helped us out and so I've switched to Asics and been happy.
