the fur hat. who doesn't have one?

that part cracked me up. I thought... wait, who DOES have one? Maybe all scandinavians (i'm assuming he is scandinavian) have them??

Just got these NDCs today. The suede part is shearling lined so that probably limits them to colder weather wear.

I don't want to let the hair grow out again though... now that i'm used to having it short i like it alot and think it looks better. Makes me wish i would have let go of my shaggy hair sooner

maybe when it gets cold again. But i'm not sure how a beard would look with my hair the way it is now.

boots of that ilk tend to lack quality unless they're a bit higher in the price range...or go the opposite way and just get combat boots resoled from an army surplus store. don't half ass and get knock-off expensive looking boots.

Come on Clopek. Those are hand made in Mexico!!!

Can't believe he was considering paying 220 for those. Didnt oak have similar bed stu boots marked down to like $60 at their end of season sale last year.

HBlack, you can do alot better for around that same price if you take the time to search around and find a good sale or a good deal on ebay. Don't just check out what urbanoutiftters has and then ask here if its ok.

I run "barefooted". Check out Vibrams FiveFingers.

Supposedly they replicate running barefooted.

I'm currently training for a marathon and I run with these on my short/easy days, while wearing my oasics for the longer/harder days.

It helped fix my form and my heels rarely touch the ground anymore.

you like the feel of the vibrams? Did you have to gradually ease into using them?

I've seen someone using them once on a paved bike trail in my area and then I saw them at a local running store... they seem like a good idea and i'm all for people running in lighter/less cushioed shoes but id be afraid to use them much on the roads.

nice jacket, i saw it at my local barneys for about 500. where did you cop and how much if i may ask?

got it from barneys website on sale for about 200

at first look i think i'm liking the women's collection more than the mens, but that's always the case for me with r&b.

I really like the 3 button blazer.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the individual pieces, especially the outerwear.

^^i think there is chance of injury with any running form (though i agree it probably is greater with heel-striking). I've heard that people that make a quick transition from heel-striking to forefoot running sometimes end up with injured/strained calves and achilles.

I do not strike much on my heel but pretty much land with my midfoot, unless i am running at like 5k pace of faster then i strike more up on my toes/ towards my forefoot. But, I used to be more of a heel striker and would reach forward wih my strides as you described, but i slowly changed that, which improved my running form/efficiency.

You definately have the right idea with simply trying to have your foot land close to just under you body instead of out in front of you as you said you are trying to do.. i think that encourages proper form. Is this forcing you to have a faster turnover (and probably a shorter stride length)? But i wouldnt suggest trying to consciously land on the balls of your feet all the time... if you just worry about not overstriding then the landing point should take care of itsself.

You're not doubling your half-mary times for that planned time are you? 2:45 for a first full is pretty aggressive.

no no... i've ran a 1:18 half and a 1:13 20k (both early this year), so 2:45 isnt an unrealistic goal.

nobody posting in this thread for a while, but anyway..

signed up today for a Marathon. I've done a couple half-marathons, but this will be my first full. Its next sunday, so only 9 days away.

I'm probably not as prepared as i could be as my longest runs each week are like 15 or 16 miles. I know i can finish it, but i don't know how strong i can finish... the last miles will probably be uncomfortable.

I'm going to try to run about 2 hrs 45 minutes, but i could imagin myself finishing anywhere from5 minutes faster to 10 minutes slower than that.
