Ok this question bothers me. It takes no longer to run a half hour
outside than inside. You only being one state away I realize it's hot
as he** out there right now, but early mornings or evenings should
make that tolerable. So why the TM?

It's just easier for me. I have to take glucose tablets with me and my keys
and probably cell to go outside. And my schedule too...Early mornings are
for my horse first. She's priority for me. So, those are out. I work
during the day and in the evening, my husband is home and dinner and all
that, then it's dark (very, VERY dark out here - no street lights, very
rural)...I don't know. I just got in the hang of running on the TM. JJ

Well I understand, I guess. How about going to bed an hour early, and
getting up an hour earlier?

Stay away from this pervert. Soon, he'll be asking for pics of your

CP, You weren't here then. So how did you know? Been web-hunting again?

Dude, why do you have this urge to go and look up irrelevant
information and then try to use that to pass yourself off as one of the
long time regulars when you are not?

Well ok...

I just did a slightly shorter/slower run. But still did more than I
was planning to do. The shoes are GREAT! I can't believe how
*comfortable* they are! Amazing. And so very light too...

I wear the Asics GT-2100 for most of my long runs. However, I would not
call them "light." Compared to X-trainers they may be light. Still, they
are my favorite for long runs and trail running (non-technical trails) They
were comfortable from the very first day I wore them. Another favorite is
the Brooks GTS5. It is in the same category as the Asics (supportive), but
slightly lighter. It would still be considered a brick by some runners.

Question for fellow 2000'ers. That recessed area with the "IGS" (on
older models, or "GEL" on newer ones) logo on the bottom of the shoe,
can you see that sag (closer to the road/surface) as your asics age? I
ask because I seem to remember that being recessed equally all around
the oval shape, but I noticed yesterday that it was nearly touching
the ground in one area. Is this signs the shoe is breaking down?

Really! I can't imagine anything lighter. I hardly felt like I had shoes
on. And, yes, they were very comfortable right away. I can't do rubs on my
feet. I have Type I diabetes and while my feet and circulation right now
are great, I won't risk that type of injury if at all possible. I was/am
very impressed with my new shoes. (I'm easily amused I know <grin>.)

There are far lighter shoes, but to me at least, it's not a noticeable
difference. I tried weighing them down one day with fishing weights,
and it made no difference. Although I do admit to having stronger legs
than most runners.

The 2100 in my size (men's 12) is 14.5 ounces. For racing 10K or shorter
I wear the New Balance 900, which weighs 11.75 ounces. Still considered a
brick by the more serious road racers. Racing flats can be as light as
half that weight.

Wouldn't have imagined shoes could be even lighter...Stronger could be
better eh?

Thanks! I'm really enjoying it. Even though I'm not running that far or
fast for that matter, I find myself looking forward to the next run. I hope
I never loose that...don't think I will. Running is so...simple. Just
about everyone can do it. I'm surprised more folks aren't out there
running! ;-) Take care, JJ

I'm still not sure if JJ is a troll or not. On one hand, he mentions
that he has TWO separate friends..........which sounds highly doubtful
for a jogger. On the other hand, he needed 7 paragraphs to tell us he
bought some shoes.........which sounds exactly like something a jogger
would do.

Read this group long enough, and you'll get a very different picture.
I guess as long as you don't have injuries it is, but some people
insist on making it hard.
