    That is what I heard. The Energy shoe that I have is used to transition "traditional" shoe wearers into the Newton minimalist brand. So it's not as hard core as the other NR shoes.

    @MorningGhost14 -I think that would be funnier if it said " I don't always run marathons, but when I do it's the 5K ones".

    @lporter229 love it. I have a friend who will say in front of people "I'm running a marathon next weekend (or whatever) and I say a full? and he will be "well no a half"". Well stop implying you a running a full 26.2.

    Hi everyone!! I'm brand new and a couple days late - hope that's ok! I'm setting my goal at 25 miles. I'm a brand new runner, who just started in October and stopped when the snow hit the ground. I have never run more than 3 miles in a week - so this will be a good way to get motivated!!

    I think it's time for me to invest in some good cold-weather gear, and hit the road!!

    I don't understand what they're saying but I think it's something like
    "I didn't realize what a terrible mistake this would be!"
    other seems to say
    "If you find my heart downhill please return it, I need it" lol
