Finish Line does also.
There probably is some legalese in there about how much they are worn but not positive of that.

BUT I LOVE AMAZON.
Running Warehouse next time. Same price, free shipping, BUT you can try the shoes for 90 days and send back if they aren't good. About the only place I've seen that lets you wear and run with shoes to see how they really feel and still be able to return.
I actually thought about Running Warehouse but was too lazy to take the 10 seconds to set up an account. I've returned shoes through Amazon before, so I am not terribly worried. Never full out running session or anything, but I'm more concerned about overall fit at this point. If they seem comfortable enough, I will give them a chance. If they are too tight or just awkward feeling, Ill send them back for free.

There is, but it's supposedly only really enforced if it's egregious or a pattern is detected.

I’ve got some serious catching up to do. And recap/goals to do.
I listened to a couple of podcasts with maffetone. Did an intro to MAF run tonight. FCK that’s hard. I mean I know I let myself go but jeez...jog jog jog walk jog jog walk into perpetuity
Plan currently is 2x leg blasters core work big snowboard trip in 12 weeks MAF 2/3 and boarding.

Trying to decide if the new gym is worth keeping. Went to swim this morning, the pool was packed.. With lanes that don't really allow sharing (entirely too narrow). I'll go in earlier tomorrow.
But i do enjoy the gym experience overall. It's not entirely necessary if not for the pool, the gym in the office has sufficient weights. But it is better.

Yeah, plus this gym opened the end of December. It's brand new, pretty nice. My concern will be when people leave other local gyms for this one.

I do, too. Always motivating to be around like-minded people.
My wife wants to get a Peloton. I think it's probably a waste of money because she'll use it for a month, and then it will become a fancy clothes hanger. So we're getting a Peloton...

Maybe you'll use it upon occasion? I wouldn't buy one but if I had one I might start cross-training with it.

I imagine I will. Especially days when I run in the morning and I'm sitting around bored at night. Could definitely see myself doing one of their low-impact 45-minute classes or something.

It was a sad day when their pictures were removed from logged strava activitiesI mean, have you SEEN some of those trainers?!

The competitive element is cool, too. I've got at least 3-4 friends with Peloton bikes who ride regularly. It would be cool to "meet up" for the 6pm class with Jess, for example, and then you can see on the live leaderboard which of us is "winning."

By the way, have you guys seen/noticed that the strava 5k, 10, HM challenges no longer show a leaderboard? Pretty annoying/stupid, IMO - not that the leaderboard had any meaning but it was still fun to look at and see where my best run ranked for the month. Kind of makes the "challenge" a bit pointless. Hopefully they fix it soon.

speaking of which, I mentioned that I left early from the 5k on Saturday... wasn't sure what I got for winning my AG but there is a medal for winning it. I have no real use for it but you better believe I'm going to go pick that up tomorrow after my doctor's appointment!
Speaking of that appointment - it's with Ortho-Indy to have the cyst like thing on my shin checked out. It's still been giving me problems off and on. Nothing debilitating but definitely gets my attention some days when I'm out there. We'll see what they say.

The treadmill we got that my wife wanted was used once. I attempted to move it to my garage and caused extensive damage to the door frame and surrounding walls. So, it’s still in my spare room and I have to look at it every day.

Hey fellas. Anyone deal with shin splints? I started slowly running again in October (35miles) and was feeling good and hit 85 miles in November. Obviously I was too aggressive and developed a shin splint. I took December off and have run a few 2-3 mile runs so far. It still feels tight and hurts a bit and seems to disappear after a mile or so.

I don't, but the usual should work:
Ice
Elevate
Ibuprofin
A foam roller also helps to roll them out. Just ease into running as you get back into it. Also, if you haven't gone to a running store yet, you may invest in a good pair of running shoes and have them fit you into the right pair.

No. I tried one morning when it was like 80 degrees and raining. I did a quarter mile then went and suffered in the swamp.

So I am finishing up my run tonight, and am just starting my 1.5 mile cool down. I start to feel that familiar twinge in the abdomen. I had just finished 12 - 400’s, so I’m pretty tired.
I go about another quarter mile, and the coffee pot is percolating and Joe DiMaggio is in my running shorts about ready to pour a cup.
I start thinking about my options, and the only viable option is the catholic church which is about another quarter mile away. I know they usually have something going on in the evenings, and they rarely lock their doors this early.
There are cars in the parking lot, so I penguin walk to the front door and walk in. It appears there is something going on in the sacristy, but the doors are closed and the restrooms are down a hallway. So I sneak in and proceed to the restroom.
It is beautifully clean. It just feels right. Sit down in the poopfessional, say 5 Our Fathers and 5 Hail Mary’s, and finish my business.
I then walk out, and apparently the service is over. There are approximately 75 parishioners milling about in a line, talking to the priest. I turn the corner, and it was like the organ music stopped.......
They ALL look at me, this weirdo sweating in running gear and headphones hanging around his neck. I nod and smile, put the headphones in my ears, and walk out with my head held high.
I laughed all the way home. Praise The Lord for opening his doors to my colon.

As I was walking in, they were broadcasting the service out in the vestibule. Someone was singing Silent Night.
I was thinking: not for long.

I looked at a couple pairs but didn't buy them. Decided it wasn't hurting that bad - and it still doesn't, but still want to have a professional check it out.

That's surprising! 46F is a near ideal temp for running (though maybe not mentally if you're not used to it). As an aside, I'm always surprised by runners in cold weather who have their bodies all bundled up ...but no gloves and/or hat. Gloves are one of my first go-to's when the temp hits 50 or below.

This past Saturday for my rave it was 34, "feels like 25", per strava. Shorts, sleeveless shirt, light head cover and gloves. I felt manly.
