  • My favorites are Brooks. Whatever you do, if you are serious about running distance, go to a real athletic shoe store and get a fitting. It makes a true difference.

  • I don't think that's ridiculous, I think it's great! What a great feeling to finally feel like this is a "lifestyle change" and not just another season of deprivation! Good for you!

  • Kudos to your husband for taking on that duty in the house! It's very refreshing to hear. I agree, though, that you should make more of an effort to get in there and see what is going on.
