The thing is, you cannot purchase the Vaporfly Next %s with the Flyknit upper. I was able to grab a pair of the first version when they offered them on Nike ID. I loved them so much because the upper is like a sock, and I don’t need the laces. I only own one pair and have been searching eBay everyday for another. Then, Nike released the 2nd version with the Flyknit upper option, and I went crazy. Bought as many pairs as I could. They sold out after about an hour. I didn’t know if I’d ever have another opportunity to buy this specific shoe again, so I grabbed a bunch to last me your lifetime.

It’s not my defense. It was a pathetic attempt at justifying my purchase.

Pretty sure I got you beat. When Nike ID dropped their Custom Vaporfly 2.0s with the Flyknit upper (my favorite shoe ever). I bought 9 pairs and dropped over 2K back in July. They just shipped and should arrive shortly. In my defense, one of the 9 pairs was for my niece who is a runner. My wife doesn’t understand at all. I also plan to enjoy the Packers/Chiefs game.

Really hoping he responds like this… No

Just went down a Clayling rabbit hole. Those things are pretty cool!

You’re one brave dude. Booster alone took me out of commission for a good 12-18 hours. Couldn’t imagine being bold enough to mix and match.

PR/BQ incoming!

I understand the thought of putting the time in and not wanting to throw in the towel, but I really don’t think you should run. The time you put in before you got sick clearly built a good fitness foundation. I think you can get back to that 56 VO2Max real quick. Why not look for another marathon a few weeks or a month out. Continue to put in some work to get back to where you were. More experienced people can agree or disagree with me, but you don’t want your first marathon to be a terrible experience. I’m pulling for you either way!

My guy!!!!

Black and green?

Sorry to hear that. I’m actually dealing with the same thing right now. Broke up a fight at work and must have landed on my ribs. Had no pain when it happened or that day. I woke up and it felt like I was in a car crash. It feels like I have about 6 broken ribs. Tried to run this morning but only managed a mile.

@tri-man 47 is wise beyond his years (and he’s got a lot of years under his belt). Glad you joined, @Zigg because there is no better place to find solid running advice/info within the matter of minutes. Welcome!

@SteelCurtainand @MAC_32, the shoes shipped out today. I can’t guarantee the shoes will make it to you based on the employee at UPS. Guy was pretty clueless, and I didn’t have the shoes boxed up. I sent a specific color way to each of you. Hoping they actually make it to you, please report back what color you received, so I know if he messed up like I suspect. Hope you guys enjoy the shoes. @MAC_32, I completed forgot your real name while in the store. So, when the guy asked for your first name, I said “Mac.” Last name, “32.”

He’s not that handy.

I have a few pairs of Alphaflys if anyone wants to try them out. They are used and size 12.
