      @louisbosco:

      not that i'm one to share personal stuff but this outcome made me feel really relieved and happy, but i'm finally getting joint custody after the judge made a statement that they're always unlikely to rule in favour of sole custody..

      I missed this the other day, but that's good news @louisbosco.

      Having seen my brother go through a messy divorce and custody battle, I know how stressful this can be.

          @Chris:

          That said, your best approach would be to go to a running store that can do a gait analysis and make recommendations based on that.  The best shoe is the one that matches you and your needs, regardless of brand.

            Thanks Guys - I tried the Hoka, but didn’t feel very stable in them. I got the Altra Torrin 3.0

            In 2011 when I moved back to Alabama from Dallas, I literally bought like 7 pairs of running shoes since there wasn’t a shop in town.

            I realized my First Gen Brooks Green Silence were hurting my knees yesterday. Hoping to check the Altras out in the morning.

                @Appfaff Altra's are great. Start slowly and keep the runs short at first if you are not used to running in zero drop shoes. Read "Born to Run"  by Chritopher McDougall, if you haven't. Will get you excited to run again and make you think differently about running and what our bodies have evolved to do.

                    Thanks for the advice @Sage954 - luckily, I have run almost exclusively I. newton, inov-8, and Low drop shoes since 2010 or so. While I haven’t ran much in the last 5-7 years, I’m
                    Excited to get started back.

                    Born to Run was what got me into Distance and Ultra running back in 2009 and spurned me to go from this:

                          Thanks guys - I’m just starting slow and getting after it.

                          My goal is running 5x per week, 3 CrossFit workouts and a stretching/yoga day each week.  I doubt I’ll lose a ton of weight, but weirder things have happened. Last time I ran this specific marathon I had busted up IT bands, so if I can stay injury free, I should be good to go, plus I have a decent duration before the event in December.

                          @madmonday - luckily the 633 are quite undersized in the waist lol [emoji23]

                            I've just gotten back to running as well… This is week 2 now.

                            Right now I'm just doing 1 miles speed runs... No real reason as to why, aside from it's fun to see the quick gains. I plan to slowly progress to longer runs, up to 3 miles. I have no interest in running marathons, so I don't see much value in my running any further than that.

                                This may go in unpopular opinions based on other posters comments but Nike have always worked well for me.  Ran in quite a few different brands prior to college, then ran in exclusively Nike in college as the school I ran for was sponsored by them.  Nine years later and I'm still loyal to the brand.  Like others have sad it does pay to just go to a running store, try a number of shoes on, and go with what feels best regardless of brand.

                                  I have nothing against Nike, personally.  They make great shoes and I've owned many pairs over the years.  I tend to stick with what works, though, and Mizuno Wave Riders work for me.  As a result, I haven't bothered to look at anything else for several years.  If I get a couple of uncomfortable versions, I'll start shopping around again.

                                    Nike is one of the few shoe brands i've never tried. I've worn Puma, Adidas and NB. I now exclusively wear NB because they're built like tanks. I know some of you fellas can't stand NB but I like them because of their comfort and because they don't suffer from toe holes. My Pumas and Adidas got toe holes within a year.
