okay so i put on my ol' brooks pureflow cause i am trying out shoes like i should be a wear tester....i just can't find the perfect shoe.... well I got a new pair of brooks pureflow in the mail yesterday (not the ones I wore today, they are black, the new ones are purple ).   Okay so I put them on and walk around and do a few jogs in my house....I am so lovin' them.  THEN I look down at them--- something doesn't look right--- welll I got them for 59.99 on ebay for being worn once and they look VERY much brand new-- now wear on the sole at all--- not sure where the person wore them-- anyway-- the fabric on the toes is the same color but the pattern is different on each shoe!!!  It's like having fabric you cut for a bathing suit in one continuous strip for both shoes so the shoes don't look the same....do you get what I am saying??  Of course I couldn't wear them today... I need to talk to the store that sold them to me... factory defect??? not sure.  will look at Kim's to see if it just how they make the shoes.  Otherwise they felt sweet on my feet.  I am a symmetrical kind of gal so not sure if I can take the assymetry which is weird cause I am not symmetrical in my body at all!!   Meant to guess that I was running 12 miles today (no pace just a running clock I looked at occasionally).  Apparently I was running faster than I thought--  cause I went over .38 miles.  AP 8:17 (thought it was about 8:30 to 8:35) for 12.38 hilly into Cedar Hills miles all over up and down!! lovely fall weather at 9:40am.

crazy about the shoes. Glad you found some that feel comfy though!

Nice job on the free run!

funny about the shoes but at least they felt good...maybe they are your answer? Nice running today my friend.

Are you going to run with Josse and I tomorrow? I'll pm you her address just incase you decide to show up.

You bought them on Ebay? That's great, I'm gonna have to try that. I'm glad they are working for you. I've wondered if I'd like the pureflows.... Nice running as always.
