My personal experience with the Mizuno Wave Precision 11

 First off, thanks to Mizuno Philippines for giving our team a big discount for our pairs and for the finisher shirt that we wore in Subit 2011! Thanks Timmy!

From badminton to running, I always choose Mizuno because it's very durable, and fits my foot comfortably. And the most important for me is I don't need to buy a new pair of shoes again for a longer period of time. Prior to Mizuno Wave Precision 11, I am using Wave Nirvana 3 which is heavier. Although it's heavier, I also love that pair and I was able to get my PRs using that shoes way back.

I find Wave Precision 11 very light which makes it a great neutral trainer. Its breathable construction ensures that my feet will not overheat during long runs. When I first fitted the shoes, it feels like it no longer requires a break in period. Whether I hit the gym or the pavement, I can feel that it's stable enough to support my weight. After running 15 km in Greentenial run, I feel like I can still go further but the heat that day really drained me up.

I almost decided to run with these pair in my SuBIT 2011 T2. But I wasn't able to break in the shoe yet. Aside from the fact that the color fits our team uniform, it looks very stylish and mean. I feel like I can run fast whenever I wear them.

Just like my old Nirvanas, I'm sure that we'll also go a long way before I get another pair. This is a great neutral trainer and I'm looking forward to use this as my T2 shoes in my next race!

Slowly getting there. And then some randon stuff.

Since November 24, 2010, I have already moved a bit. I just finished my first triathlon, I was able to get back to running, did my first aquathlon for 2011, and joined several road races.

Until now, the figures of my team mates are still in front of me whenever I run alone. I'm still chasing them. I'll be patiently training until the day that I can run side by side with them. But not yet. There's still a lot of training to do. And I can say that I'm doing my home works diligently. That said, it's been a while when I last had a boregasm.

=====

*So what have I accomplished since my last post? I hit my sub 2:30 goal for my first sprint tri. Ran a half marathon (QCIM), Men's health urbanathlon 2010, greentenial 15k and bull run 2011 16k? so there.

=====

Oh, I got a new Blackberry Curve 9300. And an iphone :) cool eh? I'm enjoying them both but I'm still thinking if I will let 1 go. I'm so wired that the only time I'm offline is when I am sleeping or when I'm swimming or running.

=====

So this Sunday, I will be running another half marathon. Condura Skyway that is. I'm still in the borderline between doing an LSD or running for a sub 2. I'll just let my body decide.

====

I've been doing some ginormous distances in my swim practice and I want to keep it that way. I want to be so comfortable in my swim that I will no loner be doubting on it.

====

I miss the old takbo.ph too Boss Rico. And thanks for the thought "Leave a room for God." It really hit me.

=====

I'm sleepy now. Today I didn't do anything because I did something good enough for my training yesterday. I should taper for Sunday.

=====

There's a pervert on the loose.

=====

Wait for me team. I'll catch you all tonight! In my dreams.
