+1 for asics gels.  i'm about to order myself a new pair, need to replace my Kayano's.  good cushioning for us non-gazelle types.

shovel 3-4 hours straight.. if you can do that you should be good.. if not problem solved...you won't need tips.

I heard 20 minutes of shoveling is roughly equivalent to running one mile.

That?s right, not only is the Japanese metal-pop girl band Babymetal taking the world by storm, they?re whipping feet into a fury. They were the artist where we observed the largest increase in speed as runners listened to them.

I'm telling you guys, KPOP and JPOP is some of the best running/exercise music there is.

Man, I can only imagine it would be hard to do a sprint with that beehive, but damn is that a funny photo

Texas Track Club of Abilene, 1964. This photo was part of a Sports Illustrated shoot in 1964.

There was a big write up on them in Runners World last year.

Anyone, runners or otherwise, ever suffer from a heel spur? And if so, anyone have any advice? I'm totally self-diagnosing, but I'm about 97% sure I'm right.

Any runners suffer from depression at all when they're unable to run due to injury/illness/etc? Few things in life get me down more than not being able to run...although I'd still say only mildly down.

Can't speak to the heel spur, but can speak to injury. YES. I have been injured a few times, never more for a month or two, and it's really hard. I started going to Pure Barre, so at least I have something when I'm injured from running.

Hope it's just something that needs some PT.

I scaled back to the Rock-N-Roll 5K this year...Anyone else running?

I'm running the half.  But I am in the middle of a whole re-do of my running style so I expect the run will be uncomfortable and the time will be abysmal.
