Oh Man, my local running store had BOTH Brooks Adrenalines Saucony Guides on sale for 70/each.  Picked up a pair of each.  Going to try the Guides for something a little less built up with less drop than the Adrenalines for shorter and quicker runs.

 

Got out for 7 miles tonight with the dogs.  Wore the Guides, they definiately feel different but I kinda like them.  Did not really notice the difference between the heal drop.  Ave: easy 8:06
