Coach will not be in today, 7th grade band concert.

Im looking to buy a decent pair of running shoes does anyone have any suggestions on brand, best place to buy, price?

running shoes: depends on the individual (flat feet, high arches, pronation, gait, where you run). Check out runners world cool running etc – they have a lot of good footwear info. I might go to a running store where they’ll watch you run and tell you the best shoe for you. (I learned the hard way, one foot’s screwed together).

NEW BALANCE!

I like NB.
No sports/shoe store “redshed friends”? Maybe we should find one. That and a health store “friend”…

Usually stick to NB they are cheap at Kohls but im not sure they are the same quality you would get at a shoe store. Might be factory 2nds.

steve were did you buy that jump rope i want to order one.

Since I have a minute to chime in… I used to be New Balance ONLY, but I have moved to Asics for running, and my feet prefer them.
I like NB for training, but not for running.
oh yeah, I did the wod this morning… it was a ton of fun

I love Dora the explorer shoes, they make my feet feel good and I look great

Randy, I completely agree with Deb… Going to an actual sporting goods store or a runners’ store to get the right fit for your feet would be your best bet.
I don’t think kohl’s type stores would have the variety or quality of shoes for the kind of extreme training that we do.
My personal preference in running shoes for my troubled feet, is Nike Shox…

Rob – are they the pink crocs?? haha

asics Randy. My feet love them.
Diet Pepsi Rob looks real keen in his Dora crocs.

this one got me mentally but i got through it.

Lets face it DP, when aren’t you challenged mentally?
Asics are kind to me right now as well.
DP, the jumprope is a Duvide dC model. the story is that i bought it from rogue fitness, they sent the dC accidentally, when i asked about the mistake, they sent me the dBM, and the first one was on them because i had used it. The dC no loner exists as a model and has been replaced with the dD for some reason. the other interesting thing is that Rogue doesnt even sell the dC they sent me. the dBM is much, much heavier and once i adjust the length you will see it at the shed as well. its a great rope but will run you $45. i got tired of paying $10-$20 and seeing them break. http://www.duvide.com and http://www.roguefitness.com
