Menace to Sobriety
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

Reaching 1,243 in 2008 -- one day, one week, one mile at a time.
I am 200 lbs and I use the Brooks Beasts always. I get 500 miles out of them, but after 300 I use them for short runs only. I tried a pair of Adrenaline GTS 8. It probabaly is coincedence, but I got a huge case of runners knee after I wore them once. I'm afraid to run in them again. I'm still fighting the knee issue after 4 weeks. I do like the Beasts and have been running in them for two years. I run about 50 miles/week when my knee isn't bothering me.
Probably not coincidence. The Beast is Brooks' maximum motion control shoe, lots of support and fairly heavy. The Adrenaline is lighter will more subtle control. That would explain the problems you had with the Adrenalines.
