    7 TM miles and then I went to OTF and ran 2.85 and almost died, lol.  That was tough., ALL OUT ALL OUT.  Sheesh.

        I like the colors on the Boston & Rock and Roll versions of the Launch. I tried them on last time I went to Holabird Sports and they didn't work. Darn.

          Runner's and their shoe choices  I think the RnR ones are hideous but would totally wear the blue ones.

           

          But blue is a slow color.

              Have you tried previous versions of the Launch?

                No. I usually wear Mizuno Wave Riders, but the price was right, so I figured I'd try them on. FYI, the 4s are now $58 at Holabird.

                  Oh, I was just wondering because I’ve heard the 5 is different than the 2-4, and if they won’t work for me I REALLY need to find another shoe!  (I have the Riders 16-18, but for some reason I just find them so... noisy.  It’s weird.)

                    I have the prior St. Patrick's version (4). I didn't feel much of a difference but I only have done one 10K with the 4s and a 5 miler in the 5.

                      *sigh* They’re all so ugly now though... and I can’t wear the men’s Launch, so I really don’t have much color choice.  Such a problem.

                        You've just solved my speed problems!! It's always the shoes!

                         

                        Sometimes I buy the ugly colors because they're cheaper and then wear them on the trails.

                          When you wear very wide shoes, you don't have a lot of choice in colors. Sometimes it's between hideous and slightly less hideous.

                            So that's my problem. Almost all my shoes and half my running clothes are blue.

                              5 miles on trails before meeting with my personal trainer. I added in 8 x 1 min on/off to pick up the pace a little. Then trashed my legs with too many squats.

                                When you wear 14EE shoes you rarely get a color choice.  It's usually  between crappy and crappy.

                                6 miles on the TM tonight.  Walked into the fitness room and there was 10 new Precor treadmills there.  Who but a crazy runner could get excited over new treadmills?  Knee's been complaining a little bit so I decided the controlled flat surface of the TM might be a good idea.
