I haven't tracked my shoes in months.  I have newer shoes, and I'm running in 2 pairs of mirage threes.  All my other footwear is cooked.  Today I wore my old kinvaras to work.  I haven't worn crocs on a run in over a year.  I don't know why...maybe I got sick of them coming off.  For one thing, my son left a pair in a hot car, and they kind of shrunk.

My annual desire to move to Flagstaff AZ is cresting.  I'm really sick of the heat.

I hear Ryder Lake is pretty nice this time of year.

Yeah, huh? I haven't been up there in 15 years. Might be time to do an all day hike/run...

Looks like your training has been going well! Much like the cold, the heat is hindering my enthusiasm.

Ah, a Tara sighting. I bet you are only managing 40 mpw...

I love Mirage 3. Have you worn the 4s yet? They feel tighter around the ankle to me. Maybe it's just the heat though...

Kristen, I'm always way behind on the shoes. I just retired my 2s and like the 3s. When the 4s turn into closeouts, I'll have to get back to you on the tightness. The heat could be making your feet swell more than usual. I'm surprised every year by the increase in blisters and other foot issues when it gets warm.
