Indeed, let's get lazy!!! I'm gonna do one worse than Jack.......I'm going to fix a sprinkler today. By that, I mean, unscrew the top of the broken one and screw in the $1 replacement in all of about 15 second's time. Then I'm going to kick up my feet.
I rode the bike down to the local HS. Ran a couple miles at the track. Ran a few sets of bleachers. Hopped back on the bike & rode home. I had more energy when I woke up but lazy has pulled ahead in the battle for my attention.

Got me some Asics Kayano 20s. I thought maybe I needed something more neutral. Turns out NO....the guy at the LRS said I reallllly need to stick to stability. He said my current shoe the Wave Inspire 9s were still a good fit but let me try some different shoes. The Kayanos were heaven for me. I had to buy them. Obviously they had to be more expensive than the Inspires. But they just feel fabulous. I took them for a spin....I couldn't resist. 2 miles OUTSIDE (first outdoor run in 7 weeks!) woo woo! I still did run/walk intervals but it felt great and the shoes felt great!
PRs: 5K- 28:16 (5/5/13) 10K- 1:00:13 (10/27/13) 4M- 41:43 (9/7/13) 15K- 1:34:25 (8/17/13) 10M- 1:56:30 (4/6/14) HM- 2:20:16 (4/13/14) Full- 5:55:33 (11/1/15)

Jack, it will be a Deschutes Red Chair NWPA, unless we have fish. Then it will be cheap white wine.
Nice shoes Kirstin. I like Asics a lot. Sounds like a good day for you.
The snow didn't come and neither did our houseguest. He got scared off by the forecast. So I got on the TM and ran 3.5, then DH and I took Ben out to the park where they had plowed the paved trails so we got another 3 miles there. Not as lazy a day as I expected.
I wish I could wear the Asics, but the toe box is a bit too narrow.
Kristin, I had the same issue my last trip to LRS. I thought I might need more neutral since I'm on my forefoot more. But turns out that wasn't the case, still needed stability. I really liked the neutrals so much, the over pronation was so slight, that they suggested Power Step inserts to help correct some, and I bought them. Brooks Glycerin for $145! I also have the Brooks Ravenna, which is a light stability shoe, compared to the Brooks Adrenalins which have more support.
