<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don: Yesterday you wrote this:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"If you've been using Kinvaras, the Brooks PureConnect or PureFlow would be the best choices. The PureCadence adds stability and the PureGrit is a trail shoe. My favorite is the PureFlow, but we've sold lots of the PureCadence because many people need that extra bit of stability to help with overpronation."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kinvaras? Those are so yesterday! I gave up on them a while back. Love the fit. Love the feel. Don't love how my body feels after 7 hard miles. In reality, I have tried Kinvara, Cortona, other light-weight non-minimalist Saucony, Adidas (several different models), Nike LunarFly 2 (I like these and will likely get another pair at some point), and probably a few others I cannot recall right now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I trust your advice and am willing to give another shot. Maybe you can help me further. I am a neutral runner who adores cushion. I put mega miles on all of my shoes, but I alternate out nearly every day so that I wear a pair of shoes, at most, twice per week and usually just once. So my shoes last one to two years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I have it right...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PureConnect or PureFlow would probably be best for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PureCadence is stability version of either Connect or Flow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PureGrit is trail, so if I like Connect or Flow for roads, Grit would be a good bet for trails.</p>
<p id="user_yui_3_4_1_3_1319808413676_44"> </p>
<p>What is the difference between PureConnect and PureFlow?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And which would you recommend for me for daily miles (wearing shoe one to two times per week)?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7 mile run early this cold morning. Part tempo, part easy, part sliding due to black ice, the first of the season due to overnight snow fall. Eesh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day, gang!</p>

<p>An hour plus a little on trainer.  Had to short the workout so I could get a bit more sleep then defrost the car and clear off the snow.  Ugh! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like a 5+ hour training session due to storm coming to town over the weekend.  Hopefully, w/end 11/5 is better so I can get on the roads again and test out the tune up on Lola before shipping her to AZ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remind me that I really do not care for late season races like this if I get it into my head to do this again down the line.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll take any advice on movies to watch while riding.  Something funny or action would be awesome.  I really don't like scary movies because I'm a wimp.  Thanks!</p>

<p>Basic daily run. Felt pretty decent. Weather was much better. Off to work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thor: I'll get back to you on the shoes when I have more time.</p>

So now I feel like an idiot but what is LoTR?  As my old admin and now friend used to describe me, "Nice girl, little slow..."<br>

ETA:  Wait I think I have it...  Lord of the Rings??  If so, great idea but we did that during a snowy weekend last winter.  It was awesome.  Maybe Harry Potter.  My brother lent the series to us but I really have no interest in them but B wants to.  Decisions, decisions...</p>
