  1. Two pairs of jeans for sale here, $50 each shipped (within US)

    both tagged size 29.

    1. Surface to Air gray jeans. medium Gray denim with black stitching. 100% cotton. I've worn these several times but they are in excellent condition and dont show and kind of fading/creasing.

    2. Crate jeans. The fit is called the Thomas, which i think was made special for Factory People. Pretty slim fit overall with a slightly tapered leg, button fly, and larger than normal back-pockets. The denim is like a blueish black, almost looks like it could be considered blue, black, or even dark grey. Feels somewhat heavy, definitely feels a little nicer than other crate denim i have seen.

    I only wore these a few times so they are in excellent condition I really like the overall look of them, but they are a little tight in the waist on me.

  2. It's more like a charity run, about 14.7km. Plenty of slopes. My strategy is to walk uphill and run downhills.

    strange terminology calling it a short marathon, considering its only about 1/3 of the distance. Where did the 14.7km distance come from.. seems odd.

    Thats just over 9 miles, i think.

  3. One bad thing ive found about running at night is that im so used to running after being up and about all day that if i do try to run in the morning or run when ive only been up for an hour or so i feel like shit... sluggish, slow, heavy-legged, stiff, especially for the first few miles. And road races are always damn early in the morning, so i have to try and get myself up a good 3 hours beforehand and i still never feel fully awake/warmed-up/ready to run.

    Its so hot and humid here in the midwest right now that the best option really is to run when the sun is down... during the day its about 98 but with the sun index and humidity it say it feels like about 110. You can do it, but it takes alot more out of you, and its tough to run for a long time.

    I actually just finished up running today.. started about 9pm. But tonight it had rained a little earlier so it had cooled down alot from the 95+ degrees it was at 7pm... ran 13 miles in 1hr24min. the whole time i could see lightning off in the distance and i kept think it was going to start storming on me but it never did.

  4. Ive never actually tried the frees myself... i could see them being good for workouts on the track but im always surpsirsed how many people i see wearing them in road races even up to half-marathon distance. But alot of the people i see wearing them look to me like they probably shouldn't be wearing such a minimal shoe.

    I'm a big fan of nikes lightweight racing flats though, and I myself just got these new nikes last week..

    they are really light (like 6 ounces a shoe in size 10) and flexible but actually feel a bit more cushioned/protective than most shoes that light, though somehow they dont feel particularly fast for a shoe that light and i don't think id want to use them for running at 5k or 10k pace. Ive already went for runs of 11 and 14 miles in them and my feet didnt feel beat up at all afterwards and they stayed comfortable the whole time. They do feel a little different than most running shoes, not really in a bad way though.

  5. ^^since i started running a few years ago i have always done probably 75+% of my running at night after the sun is down. For some reason, i just love running at night, and im not a morning person at all. Plus that way i dont have to worry as much about sun exposure.

    If you liked the frees, Nike has been making some new shoes based on the free concept but with more protection and more durability. I think they have a one now called the "free everyday"

  6. I like to eat a small snack before i run. like piece of whole wheat toast and jam or maybe a bowl of instant oats before i run. Something with a mix of both simple sugars and slower-burning carbs.

    Really, you just have to experiment and figure out what timing and how much food works best for you.

    i personally almost never drink anything when i run, even runs of 15+ miles. But i hate stopping once im going and i also hate carrying anything while i run, so i made a conscious effort to train myself to be able to run for a good amount of time without drinking anything. Plus, then when i run any longer distance races with fluid stations its like a luxury to get hydration on the run.

  7. just got these. Lady Hobo shy rinse. Got a size 29 because my 2 other pairs of hobokens are pretty loose in a size 30, but these things are tight! Wish i would have got the 30. Can't decide if i should return these or just try to wear them and stretch them out a little. The don't really feel uncomfortable, just a little tight in the waist, and i cant wear them as slouchy as my other hobos.

    The denim feels pretty nice. Overall they remind me alot of the first edition hoboken no-wash.

  8. Just got these but sadly they are too small on me. They are the Lady hobokens, which seem to run more like the older model hobokens in sizing and cut than the newer men's hobokens.

    Denim is a one-wash or rinse-wash dark blue stretch (99.2% cotton, 0.8% lycra).

    Tagged size but they seem to run pretty a little small for a 29.. these run smaller than othe hobokens i have worn.

    mesurements:

    waist - 14.25 across back of waist band

    front rise - 9.25 inches

    hem - 6 inches

    inseam - 34 inches.

    $125 shipped in the US.
