Apparently one of the many benefits of coaching track at Alta High these days is a free pair of shoes courtesy of the school. So I swung by Wasatch Running on my way home and picked up a sweet new pair of Saucony Rides. 

Got home and did ten miles around Sugarhouse in the rainywindy. Loved the shoes! They're my new favorites.

Great shoes, I think they keep making improvements in them since they started (I am running in old 3's!).

Haha Jeff you are running in some old ones! The 6/7s are lighter, more flexible, a little wider in the forefoot, but still very well-cushioned. Saucony has spent a ton of time/effort refining the Ride... its a signature model for them.
