All of the PureProject shoes seem to be pretty versatile, and it's nice that they can be used for different types of runs. If my feet were a little narrower, I might've given those a try because they seem like great shoes. I hope you get adjusted to them soon and can work them into your rotation more frequently in the coming weeks. I'm looking forward to reading your review once you've had a chance to run in them some more!Matt @ Faster Than a Turtlehttp://fasterthanaturtle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434771471547365736.post-22659732034697282542011-10-19T20:32:04.856-04:002011-10-19T20:32:04.856-04:00Matt-

Both were light, although I agree with you that the Green Silence feels"racier". Surprisingly, the PureConnect was $10 cheaper, so I bought those knowing that I could use the Pure shoes for more than just racing and speedwork. I've done 2 runs in them (with 5 miles being the longest), and I like them. It's a lot less shoe than I'm used to (other than XC spikes), so I'll need to rotate them in and out with the Launch. I'll post a review once I've put a few more miles on them.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328594276456398901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434771471547365736.post-18306974238743170432011-10-19T12:14:57.169-04:002011-10-19T12:14:57.169-04:00I added the Green Silence to my rotation in June a...I added the Green Silence to my rotation in June and love them. I use them for shorter runs, speed work, and races. I ran the TC Half Marathon and the Brooksie Way Half Marathon in them with no problems, though I usually don't wear them on longer runs. I've used the Launch since July for longer runs and runs on rough or rocky terrain, and I really like them. I used the Ghost 3 before that and they worked fine for me, but I wanted a little lighter shoe model so I tried the Launch and have liked them.<br /><br />I like the two-shoe rotation of the Green Silence and Launch, but I had a gift card for Hansons and decided to check out the PureProject line even though I wasn't quite due for new shoes yet. I went with the PureFlow because I need a fairly wide toe box (which the Ghost 3, Green Silence, and Launch all have). I think the PureConnect seem like a great shoe, but I need a wider toe box. If the PureConnect had a wider toe box, I may have gotten those to eventually replace the Green Silence in my rotation. Instead, I got the PureFlow which will probably replace the Launch in my rotation (review/thoughts at: http://fasterthanaturtle.com/2011/10/10/going-with-the-pureflow/)<br /><br />I love the PureFlow so far – they've been great for everything from 800m repeats on the Paint Creek Trail to a nine-mile run along the local roads. They're lighter than the Launch, yet (for me, at least) they have enough cushioning for longer runs. I also thought they felt great for the 800m repeats, though I'll continue using the Green Silence for most of my speed work and racing because the Green Silence have a much more distinct "speedier" feel.<br /><br />I know it's totally a matter of personal preference, but I think the Green Silence and PureProject shoes are great, and any of them that feel comfortable and fit your running style should be a good choice.Matt @ Faster Than a Turtlehttp://fasterthanaturtle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434771471547365736.post-18714543613934742832011-10-13T07:22:46.825-04:002011-10-13T07:22:46.825-04:00It took you that long to find these.

There is some beauty to be seen, I promise! <br /><br />My mom told me that the principal of the school where she works told the group a parable: <br />A clerk worked at a gas station on the edge of a town. One day, someone from another town pulled in and started a conversation. "I am thinking about moving my family to this town. What kind of people do you live here?" The clerk replied, "What are the people like where you come from?" The visitor explained, "Oh, where I come from people are terrible! They are thieves and dishonest people." The clerk thought for a moment then said, "You will find the same people here." The next day, another person drove in from another town. Entering the store, he started a conversation with the clerk. "I am thinking about moving my family to this town. What kind of people live here?" The clerk asked back, "What are the people like where you come from?" The visitor explained, "Oh, the people where I come from are kind and honest." The clerk replied, "You will find the same sort of people in this town."Catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434771471547365736.post-86200456693141078572011-08-29T09:52:42.385-04:002011-08-29T09:52:42.385-04:00I'm rather interested in your conception that ...I'm rather interested in your conception that triathletes are so much less friendly to you than runners are. I actually find that I'm much more likely to have a random person start a conversation with me while waiting for a triathlon to begin than a running race. I wonder if it's all in our perception and a conversation is be equally likely before both types of races. Maybe you subconsciously glare at other racers before a triathlon ("ugh, these stuck-up triathletes") and I subconsciously glare at other racers before a running race ("ugh, these stuck-up runners"), or if runners like men more and triathletes like women more. I've had no issues with triathletes being "unfriendly", as all runners seem to find them, but I actually find the opposite -- before running races, people are generally tucked up in their own little cliques, or completely absorbed in their music (which you can't really do before a swim, by the way). Meeting them out on the street is one thing - you can't really tell them apart! But before races, triathletes have always been more friendly to me. Maybe you're the runner that needs to break the trend and start talking to other athletes, rather than waiting for them to say something?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08021555828359204817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434771471547365736.post-46747775805175180072011-08-29T09:30:20.144-04:002011-08-29T09:30:20.144-04:00it looks like you need a tag for "hating on e...it looks like you need a tag for "hating on everyone who is not a *pure* runner from Michigan or Minnesota".

I see them all the time training and rarely get a "hi" but I probably passed 50 runners today and most said hi. "Just" runners seem more friendly. Great job on the race. I'd be last in swimming and low pack on biking and mid on running. I'd just be happy to finish.

Runners generally don't bike fast because they're doing it for cross-training, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Other cyclists, who are trying to get faster and are going hard (and there's nothing wrong with that, either!), may be trying to pay more attention to the road, watching out for hazards and such. Going 25+ mph can be much more dangerous than either going slower or even running hard. I'm not trying to excuse the behavior of anyone, just trying to point out that there may be more to it than just being unfriendly. (Personally, when I'm cycling on a rough surface, I'm not paying attention to cyclists on the other side of the road because 1. they're kinda far away - relatively - and 2. I'm way more interested in making sure I don't hit a giant pot hole and go flying at 18 mph)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08021555828359204817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434771471547365736.post-80419341669405406092011-08-21T20:42:23.734-04:002011-08-21T20:42:23.734-04:00I do find that the cyclists are not as friendly. ...I do find that the cyclists are not as friendly.

It drives me nuts when approaching groups of runners on a sidewalk and no one moves over to let me run by. Instead I usually have to squeeze by on the side. I have a bike path I like to run on and some people get so furious with runners occupying their training track. That being said, there is a nice 1k track that more often than not I find people walking on and taking up the whole thing and I just want to scream and ask them why they can't walk on the grass (pot calling the kettle black?). Anyway, it is something I've been thinking a lot about lately, and I enjoyed your story. I think the main message though is to try not to let those things bother you and to just make sure you extend good will to others, because we already have way too much, uh, "negative energy" so to speak, and being upset doesn't do anyone any good.<br /><br />My 2p<br /><br />JimJim Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434771471547365736.post-60556950455002042222011-06-10T12:30:05.273-04:002011-06-10T12:30:05.273-04:00It's hard to predict a marathon from one 5K ti...It's hard to predict a marathon from one 5K time, even if you're equally good at both, which almost no one is.
