      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:

      I need that life change again, so maybe I’ll pick it back up for inspiration [emoji109]

          Or to small, some Ultra Runners e.g. Mr Cameron Haynes are jacked as hell.

            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.

              In search of:
              IHV-04, med.
              IHSH-185, large
              IHSH-186, large (khaki, and green)

                  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.

                                • Are they long enough in the inseam?

                                        My daughter just stomped into her room and slammed the door because a) I was unsympathetic about her inability to find a toy, b) I told her to clean her room so that she can find said toy, and c) she began to whine and I told her, "when you whine, I walk away."

                                        It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.

                                            I do something similar. If my son starts crying or making a scene in a public place I tell him to take a deep breath and quiet down or i'll never take him anywhere. That usually works
