After years of playing the field, I've finally fallen in love and can proudly say I'm in a committed relationship.
No, this has nothing to do with romance, and everything to do with running. I'm a pretty passionate and dedicated runner - try to do 3.5 miles a day. I've also got bad knees, and went thru knee surgery last December. For years, I'd buy whatever running shoes fit and were cheap. And then I started teaching at UNH and heard about Loco's. When my last pair of Rykas wore out, I went out and bought a pair of Loco Mojos and all of a sudden, my knee didn't hurt any more. Running got a lot more fun and now I'm so hooked I agreed to pose naked in nothing but my Loco's for a fund-raising calendar we're doing. Even better, they let me talk them into starting a blog, so their CEO , Mike St. Laurent, officially joins the blogosphere today with their "Run free or Die" blog. Mike's got great stories and great thoughts on running, so if you're a runner, or have friends who are, let them know.
This is the first I've heard of Loco's. I've been a Mizuno guy for some time now, but when a company updates the shoes, they're never quite the same. And sometimes, the change can be dramatic enough to cause a need to switch. Looks the Carumba would be what I would need to avoid my own brand of knee pain. Happy running, and let me know how the shoes work out over the long run!
