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]

excited about your journey, maybe you shouldn't have got those 633s from SE just yet, they gonna be too big for you in a few weeks ???

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.

It's like they were right there in the fitting room with me!

My criteria for a pair of jeans are:
-
Do they fit around the waist?
-
Is there enough space in my thighs?
-
Are they long enough in the inseam?
It makes life easy.
One more - Does it make my @ss look better?
-
-
^all valid questions.

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
