    Dang, those shoes look good for 1000 miles. I kill mine. I think you still got some good mileage in there. I never ever run close to 500 miles training for a marathon. I made up a training plan once that had me doing about 500, but I totally fell off the bandwagon! So to me your stats look really really dedicated and intense!

    That's very cost effective to get that many miles out of shoes. I've been doing a lot of 'nots' lately too but it seems to be working so I'm going with it.

    Looks like you handle the useful economic life of your shoes similar to sports bras! ;-) Don't fix it, if it ain't broken! ;-)

    Those stats are incredible. But then again my swing/snatch stats are incredible! We all have our "nitch" as they say!!

    It's weird that those numbers are so different, yet you're time is roughly the same in the end. Must have been those 40mph head winds!

    Just went back and read your race report from Tuesday--not too shabby! Congrats on another finish, and change those shoes.

    Oh man, gonna be a tough government report on unemployment this month.
    How many fine, hard workers were canned when you revealed that shoes last forever. Let's just see them make it to Oct 22nd.
    And awesome numbers. Now to read about sweat.
