Let me know how those shoes work out. My brother was telling me that he runs with $300 Asics. He said he might get me a pair for the half, although I'm not going to count on it. Still-that's a lot to pay for shoes that are just going to get worn out.

I don't keep track of the amount of miles I'm putting on my shoes, so I'm not sure if I'll know when it's time to replace them. I suppose when my body starts hurting in new ways (like with you and your feet), that will be a good indicator!
