Summer ends, and fall begins; and with the arrival of fall comes many outdoor adventure runs. I posted below some fun runs here in the Omaha area that are happening in the next few weeks. I also copied a link at the bottom of the page that includes some runs around the Omaha metro.

Now, when it comes to equipment, running is a simple sport - regardless of what you are training for. Generally, all you need are the right clothes and a good pair of running shoes. But shoes tend to run down pretty quick. Just how long does a quality pair of running kicks last, and how do you know when it's time to swap in a brand-new pair?
According to some researchers, running shoes should be replaced anywhere from 300 to 500 miles after the first wear. Once that foam wears out, the risk of overuse injury increases, because the material has lost its ability to absorb shock. While some overuse injuries are minor, others might require more serious treatment. One good way to avoid these issues: regularly trading in your old shoes for new kicks.
