      All I can see is people who need to be passed

          Dude, there are times when you need to pass people and there are times when you need to just hang back and enjoy your run.

              The closer to the front, the better looking the scenery! Not that I get especially close…

                For my taste, mid pack is best.  Too far forward and the scenery gets, um, kind of sausage-y.

                Of course that could just be my justification for my inability to get that far forward.

                  Summ3rhays & zwer- what kind of shoes do you run in? Do you have a rotation?

                    Asics 2000 series. I've got a few in rotation. I'm running in the new 2000s for heavy mileage, an old pair (though not more than 100 miles on them) of 2030s for dirty days and close-to dead 2060s and 2070s for short mileage days.

                    There might be better shoes out there for me, but I'm afraid to switch.

                        I run in Altras. They fit my foot perfectly. Both the trail and the Instincts for road. I've run 2 full marathons and probably 500-600 miles in my instincts and they still feel great.

                          at one point these had some pretty gnarley tread. weather it was dirt road, technical terrain or running through some streams/slush. super light and drained water pretty well. would buy again and recommend to anyone where elevation is the game

                          they have served it's purpose and have stood up through all the mud, rain, ice and snow. RIP

                              I use my shoes for about 1000 kilometers.  That used to be every 2 months but is now every 5.

                                Depends. For me if the upper starts getting destroyed and tape doesn't do much. And/or…. there isn't enough "protection" in the sole for my desired terrain. It's too much to keep track of exact mileage per shoe, but I can find out for you

                                    ^Yea that's the general rule

                                    They say its good to cycle shoes to give the mid sole time to recover. That way you get more bang for your buck

                                      Nike Plus running site lets you track the mileage on your shoes. I don't get much more than 400km out of a pair, but I'm fairly heavy so I don't push it.

                                        Just signed up for the Dopey Challenge.  It's next January in Disneyworld.  4 races in 4 days.  6 tshirts and 6 medals.

                                        I ran the Goofey Challenge in 2011 which is the 1/2 and full.  This will be the first official year to sign up for the Dopey so I figured why not.

                                        Wish me luck.  I'm gonna need it.
