Total Distance

12 miles.  I wore my Garmin for the first time in a while just to check pace.  Never really pushed it and ended up with 6:49 average.  As always, I'll profess my love of these shoes.  I need to stock up on them so I'll have some for couple years down the road....

PM: 7 miles in Coos Bay.  Just banking extra miles on the road.

I'm in the market for a good pair of marathon shoes. Would the Mana be good? Are you a neutral? How racy does it feel and does it feel soft enough for that distance?

Yes, yes, and yes! Dude, they rock. From day one I could tell they were perfect for any distance up to a marathon. As for feeling 'racy,' I've never had a shoe feel faster. I liked Saucony Type A's for that type of feel but the Mana blow them out of the water. If you get a pair, let me know what you think.

Do they fit true to size? I wear a 9.5 in everything but got some Nike Lunaracers and had to go to a 10.5. But in the Lunafly I still wear a 9.5.

Yeah, they seem to be true to size. I wear a 10.5 in nearly all my shoes, including the Mana's. Does Steve carry much Adidas at his store?

No he doesn't have Adidas at all. I'd have to order them online.
