My new running shoes. It's my first pair of the Brooks Ghost. I used to run in the adrenaline series, but these are neutral.

Okay, I give up....how do I keep this photo from being upside down. I rotated the picture 180 and it's still showing upside down! WTF.

YES! I am taking it with my iPhone. I'll have to try that. So annoying. I even tried rotating the picture in photoshop and re-uploading it. Thanks Loreen, I'll try that. In fact, I do use it with the camera on the right, since then the buttons are on the top, which they SHOULD BE! Never would have thought of that.

Am I still #4 Loreen? Ha! Charles, they felt pretty good. Stiffer than the pure project shoes were, but that's not surprising. You know, I think I may start to really like them thou, they felt similar to my Adrenalines which I never minded. I don't think i've ever LOVED a shoe. The test will be when I start to get the mileage back up if my IT band and feet concur.

Ben, I've got to ask you about chin ups. I'm trying to work up to being able to do 10 pull ups. I started out not being able to do any, and have done reverse body weight rows to strengthen my pull muscles. They are getting noticeably stronger, but I still cannot do a pull up or chin up. Any advice on building strength to working up to doing reps of chin ups or pull ups?
