The wait is almost here.....

I'm counting down for my break in action, so to speak.  I will be writing in periodically on my blog infrequently for the moment, so please keep checking in.  I'm getting nervous and scared on what will happen in the near future.  I will be asking a lot of questions and hopefully getting some good advice.
Check back in on further details.

On another note JJ, the crazy cocker spaniel is an awesome runner. He watches me put on my running gear and starts to freak out. He wants to run with me every time.  (JJ is in the bottom left of sitting in the back of my Jess's car after running the Christmas Race, running 6 min miles)

New Shoes: Brooks Pure Project- "PureFlow"

Yesterday was the first day I wore my new Brooks Pure Project "PureFlow" shoes.  They are part of the new Pure Project light weight line.  I choose this model to give me slight support with cushioning.
I ran with my buddy Eugene on one of the coldest and windy days of the new year.  Temps were in the teens and with a wind chill of 10 degrees.
I started out running in front of my house and just cruised, not to pushing to hard in my new shoes.  With a nice 8:30-9 minute pace the Pure Flows felt great through out the entire training run.
For me the shoes felt like one of the most lightest shoes I've ever worn.  I'm normally use to Brooks Adrenaline       These are a support shoe and I highly recommend them to anyone that doesn't have a perfect: foot, heal strike, flat feet, run on multiple surfaces, pronate, breathable, fit orthodics, and are long lasting.

The PureFlow as you can see here are black and neon yellow.  And as you can see the Brooks Logo is reflective.  Another item I like is the tread on the bottom, which includes a slight split toe tread by the 1st and 2nd toes.
Here are some of the Specs:

New Year New Post New Person for 2012!!!

Well 2011 was a great running/training/teaching/coaching year for me.  I now 2012 and the fun and stress to start off with at a fresh new slate.
I finally purchased some new Brooks Running Shoes, glove/mitten combo, and Garmin 410 GPS watch.
Now I actually have to go out and train.  Let the fun begin.
So the past 3 weeks now I've been running the Wissihickon trails with FRC and having a blast.
Now with the weather changing, who knows how I can still go out with one day it's freezing and the next warm. 

So now it's time to play with the Garmin and try to use some of it's functions.
Stay well and have a great 2012!!

I will be having fun in the months to come.  Will keep everyone posted.
