This is the next book in my queue to read. I’ve heard from two co-workers that it is a pretty good book. I would love to hear your opinions on it.

I’ll give you my review on this book once I have finished it.

This is by far my favorite pair of shoes that I have worn in a long time. If you like a  cushioned running shoe try this one out. I’ve recommended it to 3 different people that I work with and all three of them fell in love with this shoe. We also gave a pair to my dad for Christmas and he really likes them.

I have flat feet which you lead you to believe that I would have a problem with over pronating. However, I’m so bow legged that it basically equals things out. At least that’s what my shoe tells me when I look at the tread wear.

This is by far the most cushioned shoe that I’ve worn since Nike Jordan basketball shoes in the 80s when they had the reflective tongue and mesh sides.

I’m still wearing the Nike Zoom Vomero +3s. The 4s have been out for awhile and 5s are now out. You can pick the 3s and some colors of the 4s out for around 89.99 right now. My favorite color is orange so I’m going to be picking these up.

As always, make sure it is the right shoe for you before you get a pair. If you like a cushioned shoe check this one out.  I’m looking to try out the Newton Sir Isaac shoe next, if I can part with $150.

Right now in my opinion the Garmin Forerunner 305 is the best bang for the buck.  It has everything that I would want in a training watch.  I also bought the adapter  for the bike that comes with the velcro wristband that you can use to quickly transition from bike to run. 

I like the use of the buttons on the 305 more than the bezel on the 405.  For me it is easier to look up different views and navigate the 305 during a run or bike ride.  The bezel is a little harder to control when you are on the move.  Not sure why I think it is necessary to mess with my watch while in motion but that’s how I roll.

I did, however, buy the 405 for my wife.  She has smaller wrists and the 305 was just to clunky for her arm.  The 405 you could also get away with as an 80s style wrist watch.  The black digital watch that those of you from my generation all had.  Some of you may have even had the one with the game that you could drive a tank and shoot stuff.  This was out about the same time as the calculator watches were all the rage.

I’m still really curious about the 310 XT.  If any of you have had experience with this new beaut, I’d love to see your review about it.
