I joked about not wanting to make anyone at the CRC work last night, but Beth did a good job - even though she wasn't working. Of course right before she had me sold on the $120 Saucony ProGrid Hurricane 10 John O came over and told me that even though they were technically a trail shoe, the significantly cheaper Saucony ProGrid Guide TR would suit me for what I do. So I went with them.
More in the mood for beer drinking than running, so I did a quick 4.5 miler in the new shoes. I'm used to running in La Sportiva trail shoes, and the Saucony felt like running on pillows compared to those minimal teners. Do think they'll make a good road shoe though.

I just bought the Saucony ProGrid™ Xodus. I am not sure if I like them or not, I have put about 30 miles on them so far, it seems my feet get sore after long runs. Maybe it is because they just need to break in a little more. Here is the link for them.

Looks like the ones I bought are just a beefier version of the Xodus. I doubt they'll do well on technical trails. Most of my weekly stuff is a combo of road and hike/bike trails, and they'll be perfect for that.
so if they can help your picky ass does that mean they can help me find a good pair of shoes too. Cause i just chucked my old ones
