New kicks

Turns out I own the 'Best Buy' of the fall line of running shoes according to Runners World. I don't have a link or anything. I'm just trusting the info from the Mizuno website.


This is the Wave Precision 8. Haven't even run in them yet. I did a twelve miler in the old Wave 7 Monday afternoon, and they felt like flat tires after mile ten. I definitely stretched them out a bit too long. I trained for and ran in the Sandestin Triathon in them, then had been training for the Memphis half marathon in them. So, they had some serious miles on them.


Therefore, it was off to Fleet Feet yesterday to pick some new kicks up, and this is what they had. Much like white bar type makes a bike (for me anyway), the red laces kick ass on this shoe. Hey, I'm slow, so I at least have to look good.

Ok, so that's not exactly veloporn, but this is. It's the '08 Felt DA and it's got a sticker price that's closing in on ten grand.

Random Long Time Gone Post

Well the season is almost over. The tri and bike season is long since over actually. Sandestin was my last triathlon, and it's dark before I leave work now, so the biking is now pretty much a spin class or the trainer. All that's left now is a half marathon in Memphis in about three weeks. Ofcourse, the '08 season starts out quickly with a half marathon in Jackson, MS on January 8th.

Oh, and by season, I in no way mean to imply that I am actually competing in this stuff. I am not a triathlete, I'm a guy who does triathlons. I'm am not a runner, I'm a guy who runs so he can finish triathlons.

Anyway, I've pretty much decided the main goal for '08 is the half ironman in Austin, TX. Hey, a buddy up and ran the Chicago Marathon just a few months after I ran New Orleans, so it's time to one up again.

Till then, see you on the trainer, watching the Grizz, and pedaling to the Editors.

Oh, and holy crap did Abita do right with this one:
