I really really like this hoody but its a little to big for my liking, would be keeping if it was a small.

i'll take the shirt. PM sent

got me some new Julian's:

they are hoboken cots tibetan. They are a size 30, probably could have done with a 29 but oh well.

Right now I'm not putting in enough miles to need a post run snack, but when I do I like CLIFF® bars. I ate so many PowerBars when I trained for the marathon a few years that I can't stand the taste of them anymore.

I'm anxious to hear what the guys that are putting in high milage runs are eating.

clif bars are far superior to powerbars. Snickers marathons are good too for more of a candy-bar taste.

I think my favorite post run food is oatmeal. Sometimes i use plain oats and add honey/vanilla/cinammon/dried fruit, etc, but honestly i love Instant oatmeal also. And always made with milk, not water.

Alot of times after i run the first thing i want is a piece of fruit (apples are my fav.) Then i'll eat something more substantial a little while later (i.e. the oatmeal)

The international tweeXcore underground will SAVE US ALLLLLLL!!!

listen to los campesinos! Defintately my favorite band of the moment.

as far as shoes go, i go through alot of shoes with the miles i run. And i run most all of them on the roads (no trails closeby) so i have to be pretty cautious with putting too many miles on my shoes or else my legs will pay for it.

But, i generally like light-weight, lower profile shoes. (which kinda sucks because they don't last all that long). My favorites right now are the Nike Katana series and some of the lighter-weight Adidas trainers/racers. I basically do most of my daily running in what would be considered racing flats or fast-paced training shoes. I used to wear heavier, more supportive, built up trainers because i thought i needed them because i have flat feet and the shoe companies try to tell you thats what you need. But, as i increased my mileage and speed and my efficiency improved, i found normal trainers to feel cumbersome and the lighterweight shoes feel much more natural and encourage better running form for me.

I'm going to try to be bring this thread back.

After a couple of year layoff I have begun running seriously and getting ready to train for the marathon again. I know there are a lot of people (& a lot of threads) devoted to weight loss and running is a great way for a lot of you to achieve your goals.

Before this gets going again please don't post all the running is bad for you bad for your knees, ankles etc. I concur on all that. If you are new to running then get some good shoes, some good beginners advice (& a program) and a good pair of running shoes that fit your feet and your style of running.

You don't have to train for a marathon, just get out there and exercise and stay healthy. I have a lot of friends my age that used to be excellent athletes that are now a hundred pounds overweight and all ready have heart and circulation problems simply because they just gave up and became sedentary.

So...

Let us know what your current program is.

what are your goals?

are you a runner or a racer?

what shoes do you wear to train & race in?

any advice you might have for the beginner

or tips for better training.

Currently I'm just building up to train for distance (5k a day, 6 days a week for the next 2 months).

I hope to start the racing season in the fall and build on distance. We don't have

lot of races in Texas in the summer (for obvious reasons).

I train in New Balance 991's

If you are a beginner start with a reasonable distance (2-3 miles) and run for 2 minutes

and walk for 1 minute until you complete the distance. Keep adding to distance with

the 2:1 ratio before you start just running the whole distance. Be patient, it'll take a couple of months.

anxious to hear your thoughts.

Just saw this thread and figured i should contribute. I've been running for about 3.5 years and run quite a lot now. Started off just running on a treadmill at the YMCA and eventually moved to running only outside and got hooked big-time and just gradually increased mileage.

For the past year and a half or so i've been running about 70 miles a week, sometimes up to 90 mpw and sometimes a lot less when im dealing with little injuries or the weather is really shit.

But for the mileage i run i'm not all that fast... ive run 16'45 for 5k, 28'00 for a 5-mile, 57'00 for a 10-miler, 1:17 half-marathon. I basically just run everyday and go by feel that day, i never make any training plans or whatever.. i suppose i could get myself a little faster with more structured and specific training.

Havent run a marathon yet, but i'm sure i will someday, but i kind of want to be sure i'd be able to go 2:40-2:45 before i try one.

Oh, and i use a garmin forerunner 305 speed/distance monitor to keep track of of my mileage and i absolutely love it, well worth the $200 it cost.

Been watching this thread for awhile hoping for an update. Anyone have more recent pictures of how their pair is?

wearing mine right now:

2. Helmut Lang jeans. Tagged size 29, but see measurements. Don't have a produced in or style tag like some of the older HL jeans do, but they seem to be the classic (one wash) denim (Great 100% cotton denim). Button fly. Made in italy. I got these used but they are in great condition. Dont show any defined fading but do look like they may have been washed once or twice, but are still a nice blue, just not overly dark.

$42 shipped also.

measurements:

waist - 15

rise - 9.75

hem - 7.5

knee - 8.25

inseam - 31.5

Just got these today but they don't fit me well. Expected them to fit like my old hoboken black bullets but they seem to be cut a little larger than those. Bought them from denimbar and i think i got theit last pair.

Looking for $140 shipped in the US. If no interest right away i'll just send them back to db.

redline selvage denim, 99% cotton 1% lycra.

measurements and pics shortly

yeah, what is that in your pocket!? haha

very seriously nice jeans, though!

everytime i post evo pics i get asked about the back-pocket fade. Its an mp3 player. I keep it in my backpocket all the time. Ugly fade, i know, but it fits in there perfect.

pbj xx-007s. washed once a few months ago, maybe 9 months total wear.
