After my weight workout I headed upstairs to the cardio machines. It has been really busy there since New Year's. So far I've lucked out and managed to get on a treadmill when I've needed one. I managed to squeeze in 7.35 miles before I had to leave to get the of the rest of my errands done. I wish I could run as fast as I could do on a treadmill. I push myself harder or something. I hoping that with all the running I plan on doing I'll get faster on the treadmill and on the road.
In my last Runner's World I noticed a Saucony ad. I am an ASICS girl but a pair of shoes have caught my eye. I have an obsession with green. In a pile of Saucony running shoes, this pair stood out. I have thought about them several times since seeing the picture. Finally I gave in and looked them up on the internet last night. I really want them. I know Saucony's are good running shoes but I need a new pair of shoes desperately and know I should go with my ASICS first. I'm really tempted though. Check them out. Here's the pic from the ad.

These look to be mostly a trail shoe but from everything I've read they might work for any outdoor running. What do you think? Any thoughts?

I am a matchy matchy person.. I was sent a pair of bright green Pearl izumis and I find I dont where them often because they dont match with much... Is there somewhere you can try them on before buying?
How much should your shoes weigh?
They look pretty snazzy. I too have only bought asics and need to buy shoes again???
Mel, I would love to try any shoe on before making the purchase. Since we live basically in the middle of no where that makes it harder. I'm going to call around and see who might carry them I'll probably have to head towards Seattle or Portland. I wear black so much that they would probably match. I need to work on my running gear variety :)
Harmony, most shoe websites show the weight of the shoes. I'm sure the lighter the better. If I find a pair that feels great I wear them even if they are on the heavier end. After all these miles I'm really needing a new pair.
