Brrrrr! ;-)<br /><br />I hate it when favorite shoes get discontinued. I always dread the "model changes" year after year too. I hope the upgraded Asics do the trick for you. Nice job with your training as well...keep up the great work!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185580660442865724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-18816825112913901962009-12-10T16:14:31.654-08:002009-12-10T16:14:31.654-08:00Bummer about the weather.

I picked up a new pair for $40 less than I paid before. But RunnersWorld has given the 2150's a very good review - so go get a pair before your small pains turn into big hurts!sAmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884692135194912701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-6694595469693009822009-12-10T15:44:28.579-08:002009-12-10T15:44:28.579-08:00Glenn I know your cold pain from this past weekend...Glenn I know your cold pain from this past weekend! seriously! :) even though it was 27 at the race I died in 50 degrees so 27 was the ultimate killer for me!

Do you use one pair for your long runs and another one for your short run or just alternate between the two with each run? <br /><br />Sucks about your favorite Asics though.

I tried different shoes this summer and after about a mile I went back home and put on my trusty kayanos. Tried 2 different pair. Yes, our shoes are our tools, as well as our bodys. Great Post again, and keep em coming. have a good one man! BTW can you send that 40 degree weather my way. It sure beats this crap. lol. Maybe I will just move one day.Kenleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09512831713445031916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-46761508136663218962009-12-10T09:34:44.375-08:002009-12-10T09:34:44.375-08:00If Asics discontinued that does not mean you canno...If Asics discontinued that does not mean you cannot find them anymore. What it usually means, you now can get the same shoe 40-50 less. This is at least what I have found with my tried and true never let me down New Balance1062. Poke around some websites and see if you can find them. I usually just search the shoe itself and will find a listing of at least 4-6 stores still carrying my shoe. Now finding them in your size? Can't help ya on that. 400 Miles on each shoe is really high mileage. If I get to 275 I am happy camper. <br /><br />Generally though, if changes have been made to a new line - the changes are typically minor. They also can be "good" changes as well.<br /><br />I would rest your knee though. Sounds like it really is affecting your stride if your are getting hip pain as well. Never good to run injured.Generation X (Slomohusky)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16074437755665432964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-70328180179363098962009-12-10T09:05:37.001-08:002009-12-10T09:05:37.001-08:00if you're really committed to the GT 2140'...if you're really committed to the GT 2140's I'd suggest going over to Ebay and snatching up as many pairs as you can... you can usually get shoes at a pretty decent price, especially discontinued models... <br /><br />also, thanks for the look back to your old training log. it's always great to get a little bit of perspective on things... I hope I can realize the same kind of improvements that you saw in my second year of running!EZEthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578211783759610661noreply@blogger.com
