I like New Balance running shoes, I've had a pair of 636's and now a pair of 764's with the shock sole...can definitely feel the difference in the two...a buddy of mine works in a sporting goods store and he said people are constantly bringing their Nike's back in because they fell apart too soon or they caused foot problems...The price differential for comparable NB's vs Nike is about $20-25 more for the Nike's too. But keep feeding the beast all you swooshies...lol...basically it depends on your foot. I have wider feet so NB's which are more neutral in width fit me better.

EA-6B1,
That cracks me up...we call our game the "Turkey Bowl" too...not that its a stretch...we also are having an ice bowl when the guys come back for X-mas break.
As for injuries...I just don't go out there like ROMO and try to kill anyone or be a world beater...at the same time I don't think about playing soft because that's when you WILL get hurt...Like any sport, play hard and play smart and when you see someone bigger than you bearing down on you...RUN LIKE HELL the other way!!!

I wear racing flats in my races. Track spikes without the spikes - light as air. http://www.brooksrunning.com/gear/fw_pdfs/Mach6Spikeless_Tech.pdf
http://www.brooksrunning.com/gear/mens_fw/m_mach6spikls_detail.htm
I wear Nikes Pegasus, Adidas Adeprene, and Reebok Hydromove(?) for day to day and practices. Unless I'm on a date then I am wearing running shoes. You never know when you might have to run.
I'll get a new pair of shoes in the next week, I might go for NB's (made in America!) or another pair of these Reeboks.

There are a couple things about the racing flats: 1) your feet get hammerred when you wear them and b)they wont last that long.
I have run 8 races and 2 PFT's in mine. Under 50 miles (about what I run in a week normally). They show significant tread wear already.
I never thought that they would last that long or give much support, I bought them because they are light and fast. Not for training.

Good Question. The board for the West Coast district meets next Friday, on the 14th. That means that we will hear news the forthcoming week I assume. My office said it takes about a week to hear back after the 14th, but I think it comes back faster. I guess I should say I hope it comes back faster.
So I ran another PFT last saturday. 10/15/03 I scored 299 and I tried to perfect it on 11/8/03. I was unable to improve the run and scored a 296.
I was at least 30 seconds slower. Maybe I came out too hard or the gusting winds slowed me down. Maybe I'm just lazy. I really wanted that 300. No matter. The 299 is submitted.
At least I am no longer afraid of a little 3 mile run. Now I have 2 months to take a minute off my time.
See you in January!

Praxis, please tell me how to get my run time down!! I'd be happy just to be sub 21. I suck at it right now. I ran a half marathon in April, and now I'm struggling to just run 3 miles, let alone in a good time. Someone PLEASE HELP! I have to work harder on the Running than anything on my package. Thanks.
EA-6B1,
i figure there are two schools of thought on how to decrease your run time -
1) work in some speed work - hit 400s in your goal time (1:30 if your shooting for an 18 min 3 mi) one fast, one slow; sprint up the hills, jog the down; fartlek runs; anything to get you sprinting and jogging
2) run like a man on fire for everyone of your runs, run faster towrd the end
both methods are employed by competitive runners with great success and see what works for you. personally i try to do a little of both. i think straight runs get a little boring so once a week i try to mix it up with something that will keep my interested and push me farther than im used to going.
either way, the idea is to GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
there are some great online resources on the subject. coolrunnings.com, runnersworld.com and a host of others. also, check out galloways book on running as it is widely considered an authority on the matter.
good luck

Run. Run 6 or 7 days a week. Maybe 50 miles a week. I usually run 10+ times a week. Morning and afternoon.
Mix it up. Speed drills: 12 X 400, 40 minute tempo runs, repeats: 6 X 1600, hill repeats, striders, plyometrics, and one long run a week.
