Friday Footwear

Today's Workout:

X77, W25, M

BIKE: 46/15 miles, stationary. Pounded out 15 fabulous miles.

RUN: 51/5 miles, in the cold, dark streets I run. Striders feel nice.

Rewarded myself by opening up my reserve pair of running shoes the other day and have begun to wear them now and then. Although my NB Black 749's are in great condition, I couldn't help but rationalize the wearing of both pairs, just because the new one's practically begged me to put them on. New shoes to run in are fun. Why not have some fun? It's Friday, enjoy it all!

NB 749's

Several months ago I took a chance and bought a pair of New Balance 749's. I had been wearing NB 587's for probably 7 years for the strong stability factor, comfort and USA made branding, not to mention the old school blue, grey and leather look, plus they were extremely long lasting.

I decided to try the 749's seeking a more cushioned type shoe, and this is it! I love my 587's and still wear them around, but have been running in the 749's on road, trail and treadmill and I am very happy with them...Another pitch for the NEW BALANCE BRAND, oh yeah they are manufactured in the USA too!
