My first Zappos review for my size 15 Merrell Spins.
I’m training for a 50k trail race. These are my main shoes I’m using for my trail runs. Typically 5-12 miles. I like these because the heel isn’t built up really high. I went up a size. They are roomy and comfortable. They are heavy and soak in water when I cross creeks, but are still useable. The shoe laces come undone unless I double knot them. They seem like they will last forever. I like to run in racing flats. These shoes aren’t racing flats, but they aren’t annoyingly bulky. They grip well. I have slipped a bit on wet stones.
Had a fantastic run on the roads in my neighborhood this morning. Nike+ iPod reported 7 miles in one hour. The Nike+ system has definitely provided motivation to run at a higher intensity during this early-to-mid section of my training. As the weeks unfold it is starting to remind me of waiting for Chrissy to produce a baby. Various points of excitement along the way, but all-in-all it is a long haul.
