When the shoes are worn out to a certain extent, the pain in the left hip starts again. It actually may vary a great deal how long a wait to change my shoes. But 600 miles is around when it usually starts happening.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-87939302579903317092010-08-16T12:16:13.643+02:002010-08-16T12:16:13.643+02:00Re: miles in shoes.

Well, I missed my daily run a lot at first, but now it is sinking in how much better my runs are when I take days off between. I never thought I would be saying what I am now. Trust me! But yeah, my goal right now is actually to get faster, and I can completely respect just using running for enjoyment and stress relief. <br /><br />Ewa & Green Light,<br /><br />Yeah, I forgot to point out that normal running shoes here run about $150, so if one is going to buy shoes in Denmark, I really did get a good deal. :)(patting mysef on the back).<br /><br />Steve Q,<br /><br />I thought people who were morally and ethically superior didn't admit it! But what would I know, really? <br /><br />Olga,<br />Wow. You have good luck with cheap shoes, I guess. I can't remember the last time I bought a pair of running shoes for less than $80. I must have been in high school.<br /><br />Yeah, Karen,<br /><br />I found out yesterday that I absolutely needed a break. I was sore everywhere. I slept in, took a light run and took a long afternoon nap. I may find one real rest day a week is key to good training.<br /><br />Tina,<br />I will stop by. Thanks!<br /><br />Mmmonyka,<br /><br />I'm just starting it. I still have to work out the details based on how I feel.<br /><br />Shannon,<br /><br />Wow. If I don't recall making a cameo, does that make the answer no? Was it just a shot of a runner? I will have to look up the movie and see if I can learn more. I am, however, one of those people who frequently gets mistaken for others. So, somehow I am doubting it was me :(.<br /><br />PPC, agreed! I replace mine approximately every 500-600 miles, so I am a little worse than you. But I only replace them because I can tell I need to. I never write it on the calendar or anything.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-85883207113940887082010-08-15T15:19:10.487+02:002010-08-15T15:19:10.487+02:00Olga/SteveQ: Whaaaaat? how many miles do you put o...Olga/SteveQ: Whaaaaat? how many miles do you put on your shoes before replacing them?

The Asics 2150, the best selling shoe in the US at MSRP $100, sells in Denmark, at the same store where you bought the Bioms for 1100 Danish Krona, and isn't that something like $180? So $171 for the Bioms isn't actually that ridiculous, relatively speaking. (PS: the shoe I recall you used to wear, the Saucony Hurricane, is MSRP $140 so even more expensive relatively).green lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710702006690038659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-36284119214347587172010-08-14T04:03:46.825+02:002010-08-14T04:03:46.825+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.green lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710702006690038659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-57802291355329399002010-08-13T23:18:53.415+02:002010-08-13T23:18:53.415+02:00I wish my shoes looked that snazzy!!!

Invar sounds like it should help to not wear out any particular areas, but doesn't having one part sore the next day slow you down? I find it a little harder to run the next day (ie- the day after a brutal core workout). Maybe I'm just a wimp. :) I'm sure you'll be able to tell for yourself in a week or two.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-9312977293955554132010-08-13T23:18:30.902+02:002010-08-13T23:18:30.902+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-15881235393444682192010-08-13T19:53:41.469+02:002010-08-13T19:53:41.469+02:00I am NOT materialistic, but not superior to most (...I am NOT materialistic, but not superior to most (just some, the lazy kind:)). And I had never spent that much on a pair of running shoes, or any shoes. It helps to get free/discounted shoes:) but the most I paid full price for were $80 4 month ago for a road shoe - and I kept a box for 2 month hoping to return them and recover the money. My previous road pair lasted almost 2.5 years and was bought by a friend who worked at Nike (this deeply discounted). Weird...I pay for Bikram about $100/month these days. But yoga, like races, is an "experience" while shoes are "stuff". That's my idea, and I am sticking to it:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-84160796941099199862010-08-13T18:48:47.927+02:002010-08-13T18:48:47.927+02:00I think I'm morally and ethically superior to ...I think I'm morally and ethically superior to others AND less materialistic, but not BECAUSE I'm less materialistic.

We rowed 6 days a week and lifted alternating muscle groups in the weight room about four days a week. <br />I'm just curious about one thing in your plan--don't you miss having a daily run? The act of running is like a daily ritual for me, and it clears my head and gets me centered. I'm not training or trying to be faster, so my goals are very different, and that obviously influences my workout activities, but I know I would sorely miss my time running even if I replaced it with swimming and biking. <br /><br />P.S. You have given me shoe envy.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137207492303218465noreply@blogger.com
