  • I have worn Nike's since my college days and have been really happy with anything that has the "Air" sole in it. I most recently have been wearing Monarch Air Nike which is a cross trainer. I have tried on others brands, but they all seem to be too narrow. The one word of caution is that the air sole does eventually wear…

  • Great post no matter what section, making it fun keeps us sane. I jump on the scale whenever I feel like, its a way for me to check my progress.
