Brooks PureDrift Preview

I have been reading today about the new Brooks barefoot shoes coming out in 2013 called PureDrift. Brooks has a line on barefoot shoes under the umbrella called The Pure Project. the PureDrift will be the lightest shoe within this line weighting 5.1oz.


 The new shoe features a natural fit, light mesh upper and the ability to modify the shoe to a zero offset while maintaining surprising comfort. PureDrift will launch at retail on Jan. 1, 2013 as part of the second iteration of the PureProject line.


PureDrift Features

Backed by biomechanics research in partnership with with Prof. Dr. Gert-Peter Brüggemann and Prof. Dr. Joseph Hamill, the PureDrift features the original PureProject technologies, BioMoGo DNA, Ideal Heel and Nav Band, as well as:

• A dual toe flex located at the three functional units of the foot, allowing for increased joint articulation and a more connected feel. 
• An injected midsole to enhance flexibility and a wider forefoot that allows for foot expansion, increasing stability and giving the runner a more efficient toe off while ensuring proper alignment.
• A removable insole, so the runner can customize their experience from a 4mm offset ready to run out of the box, to a more extreme 0mm offset.
• An ultra-breathable mesh combined with a sleeker upper that gives the shoe a feather weight, near invisible, quality that delivers the ultimate connected experience.

Halifax Bluenose Marathon

This past week has been busy around here, Idlehide has been finishing up her year of University as well as graduating from Dal University. A Little  over a week ago was my 30th birthday and contrary to what my wife thinks I didn't drop dead from old age.

For my Birthday a bunch of my friends met at a downtown eatery called Q Smokehouse and had a awesome turkey dinner. The group paid a flat fee and they served a full turkey with all the fixings, I loved the cornbread.

Here in Halifax over the weekend, out great city hosted the Scotiabank Bluenose Marathon which is quickly becoming one of the top Marathons in the country. Over 12,000 runners were treated to great weather and maritime music as they ran around the city.

Idlehide, her sister and cousin all ran the Half Marathon and all had awesome races, I am very proud of them all.

I'm currently on vacation and we are having awesome weather, I went for a run in my Merrell Pulse gloves this morning. My vacation will be spent studying most of the time as I need to brush up on some material for work as they are sending me away on a course at the end of the month.

Well have a great day,
Kennyo
