Jamie,

Thanks for the kind words! The Takumi Sen is a shoe I’d love to try, but the price has held me back from giving it a go. Have heard good things about it though. Personally, I’d choose a shoe like the Adios Boost for up to a marathon since I need more cushion for that distance, Takumi Sen more for 5K maybe up to the half. Some others to try might include the Mizuno Ekiden, Adidas adizero RC, Saucony A6.

Pete

totally agree on the people part! I’ve been “SOLITARY RUNNER WOMAN” since after my marathon in April. Just this past Saturday, I ran a local 5k. It SOOO great to see all my running friends. Of course now I’ve been thinking “Why don’t I do this more often?’

Thanks for reminding us to remember what is important. Cheers to you and best of luck.

I’ve been reeding your blog for a couple of months, and have loved it. Run blogger is by far the best running blog.

Anyway,would you be able to review the adidas takuma sen 2 or 3 as i am planning on purchasing one for racing (5k-half marathon). I would go ahead and buy the 2 because it is apparently more responsive (thanks to the torsion system in the forefoot), although I really like the boost material in the adios boost (my current shoes I use for just about anything). And also living in Winnipeg, the claims that the boost material is temperature resistant would really help (it gets below -40ºF here!!)

If you can’t review them for whatever reason it’s totally, because they are very expensive (thats kind of drawing me back, to). Although could yo please recommend some other shoes similar? (

Thanks Nedim, if I can make it work I hope to be back next year. This summer has been crazy! Tons of travel with the family, but all good.

It was great having you as a coach last year- you clearly have a passion to teach and inspire others. You made it memorable. Best of luck with your new teaching goals- there will be many lucky students learning from you. Hope you are back next year at Craftsbury.

Sometimes I have to edit them because it comes out like stream of consciousness but I am not Virginia Woolf. I come to your blog oftentimes to get the routine type of posts. There are 17 Kazillion blogs out there and people will gravitate to what they have an affinity for. That said, no person is a robot so if/when you switch gears it is understandable.

At some point bloggers decide to monetize their blog, go through all the hoops and find out that it is not where their heart lies and eventually many start over.

I hope you keep your blog, but begin to write from the heart more often. Template and formula posts make it easier to write quickly, but are they what and how you really want to say it?

It sounds like you are moving to the next stage as a blogger and I believe you will have more fun with your blog again and I have a feeling that many of your newer readers will start to see a different style of writing from you.

Good luck and keep smiling or is that blogging.

I just started my own blog so I very much appreciated your latest posts. I can’t agree more that the people I’ve met through running has been by far the most enriching thing I’ve gotten out of it. Looking forward to reading more!
