      Dang it, I need to come up with some new questions then.

        Dang it!

        I thought this would be real shoe advice, which would be perfect because I am in need of some recommendations as I consider switching brands (thinking about trying Asics).

         

         

        Does Mandy even run?

        Faster Than Your Couch!

          Ha, Birdwell, I am thinking of trying Asics again, too. Perhaps we'll have to switch to PM'ing, as this topic is not so popular around here any more.

           

          But who is that Mandy that you are talking about?

          Run for fun.

            I have a couple hundred miles on a pair of Asics scout, it's not to bad of a shoe if your looking for something with a good amount of cushion.  They do pretty good with snow, mud, roots, and still easy the pounding of getting to the trail on the roads.

             

            Now back to the main topic,

             

            Did someone say Mandy needed a training program?

                Yes, but only over in the barefoot forum.  Jamie too.

                Endless trails

                  I don't miss those topics at all. Doesn't anyone just get out there and run in the

                  woods and figure it out as they go?

                   

                  Now, whats the best shoe to wear to run trails with a race coming up that I'm not

                  ready for with an injury and don't know what pace I should be running since my

                  weekly mileage is low and I'm not doing speedwork and I've been following the

                  run till you puke training plan but I missed my week 14 7.25 mile run because it

                  was raining.....

                    If you can find Mandy, I would asks her.

                      I would try something like Vibram 5 Fingers or Crocs.

                      Or if you have any old Keds laying around, those would work as well.

                          I really didn't mind the newbie questions at all.  We were all new at this at one time.

                           

                          Plus it gave John M. something to do, and I always loved his replies, especially his classic reply when someone would say "50k is only a bit longer than a marathon, so it can't be that different, right."

                          “Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
