Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.

Monday, July 18th . . . it's becoming effortless (with a big smile) . . .

My running is becoming effortless, and oh so enjoyable . . . a beautiful 40 minute easy run with 20 minutes of barefoot strides on a baseball field. I have to wonder if it's the 4 years of continuous committed running that I"m now benefitting from as well as learning how to listen to my body.

I've averaged 50-60 miles per week for 4 years and I've had several milestones along the way but recently, my shoe selection has been finalized and I let my body (and feet) decide which footwear and combination is best and my stride is becoming so easy and effortless.

  1. What did you settle on the ultras or the lunas?

  2. Ah, I settled in on the Luna which I really like although I still also run in the Nike XC. However, I do like the Ultra's for walking though.

  3. I just received my Luna's and can see why you love them. Good to know they can take the mileage. Which laces do you prefer?

  4. I use the hemp laces. The Equus laces bothered me a lot and the leather laces were not tight enough for running race pace.

    I look forward to your review of the Luna's. They are a quality piece of footwear in my opinion.
