Ran with Adam on parts of the Flying Dog and 24-7 trails near Jeremy Ranch. There are perfect, endless trails up there although I did trip twice and cut up my hand. I was a bit clumsy because my legs were pooped.

I have about 200 miles on my Altra Olympus', many on roads, and both toes are already ripping off as well as a plastic peace in the back. Not impressed thus far.

i've never tried them but after hearing all the endorsements yesterday i am convinced they are the best shoes on the planet.

nice run. i think i fall every time i run trails.

Yeah but a guy pretty much won the Boston Marathon in Altras this year, so there's that.

Practically. I guess I must be extra hard on shoes running on those bumpy roads with pot holes and treadmills.

Altras are great, compared to the bowling shoes that guys would wear to run the Boston Marathon in the 1910s.

There was a thread started this weekend on FB with a bunch of people comparing the mileage they have gotten out of their Altra Olympuses (sp?) and the general consensus didn't seem great.

Amiee took those pictures of my shoes. Stirring the pot with those Altra junkies.

Gotcha, I didn't know they were your shoes. That is funny. I have only 75 miles on mine that Whit gave me for our anniversary. I will let you know when they start to fall apart.
