Sounds like life is good in AZ! Keep it up...say hi to Rob and kids.

BTW, you need to update your info at the left for your new PR!

Thanks Jeff! We're trying to fit in as much outdoor activities as possible. It's been raining cats and dogs all night and should be raining off & on until Wed!

I'm over-due for a new pair of running shoes, which brand(s) would you recommend? I really like my Asics but wanted to hear your opinion first.

Take care & keep warm!

Rachel, as far as shoes go, they are so specific and have such different feel that it is hard to recommend without knowing more about your foot type, pronation and stride. The best bet is to get "fitted" at a specialty running store (there are some in Phoenix) and then look at how they feel and the price you are willing to pay. If you like your Asics, it is never bad to stick with what works. I have always run in Saucony and like their shoes a lot. I tried a pair of Brooks once and did not like them so I took them back.

Hope this helps. Keep on running.
