Adidas Supernova Riot writeup

So far I'm just under 40 miles on the Supernova Riots; must say that it is a tough shoe. One thing during my 2.55 mile run today though however is that the shoes felt a bit stiff in the forefoot. Perhaps just one of those things that comes from an off day. In any case I'll keep running in them especially on my trail runs. Nice and tough finish that keeps out anything. I continue to like the color pattern also and have to say roomy or better yet comfortable in the toe box. More than this though tomorrow is my last day at work. Excited and happy to be traveling to Japan. I plan to purchase about an additional six or seven pairs of running shoes before I head over. Anyway, enough for now. KeepRunning! (always!)

Adidas Supernova Riot

Check out the link above to the Supernova Riot; bought these about a month ago and while I don't have a lot of miles on them I must say that I am impressed with the shoes. 

Pros: 

Comfortable

Fits to size

Staggers overpronation

Grips well

Roomy toe box

TRAIL READY!

Cons:

So far the two things that I have come across are both things that are controllable. One was slipping in forefoot but that was due to the fact that I didn't have them laced well enough and the second was traction on the sole but I was moving fast so to expect break speed traction is more a function of the runner rather than the shoes.

Expect to start logging some extended miles with these and really want to see how they wear down over time. Didn't buy them direct from Adidas but got them online from another source. I like the shoes and look forward to more runs in them. Keep you posted. 

It's official: Headed to Ishikawa, Japan

Well, looking forward to traveling to Japan next month. My next race is the Peachtree Roadrace on July 4th. I don't know that I have it in me to do better than I did last year. I mean a finish time of 44:48 last year was a great feeling. I'll be closer to the front of course but still not feeling it like I was last year.

In other news though I look to get back into running and adding trail running to the mix. I did discover a new trail by my job which I must say was a great surprise. Jester's Creek Trail it's called. I've been purchasing running gear, etc as I get ready to head out to Japan and look forward to really hitting it hard after being in a rut for a while now. Who knows, maybe even revive the site??? KeepRunning!
