Got a new pair of shoes in the mail today – Brooks Cascaida 5. And a new beanie, the Infiniti in Green, and, not pictured, Brooks Vapor Dry 3D Stadium Pants.
The Beanie is just kinda like a skull cap thing, with the bottom few inches, around the ears, being made of fleece and the top of a moisture wicking fabric. It barely fits my big head and should do pretty well to make sure people can see me lumbering along while my mostly bald head is toasty warm. The pants, in size XL, have an inseam length that is good for my 6’4″ height. They have rubber banding at the ankle opening to help keep them in place. They should be good for when I don’t quite need tights but when shorts are a little too chilly. Like around now!
The shoes feel great on my feet, but maybe a touch on the small size. I think another half size bigger would be too big. Something like a 12.25 would be perfect, or maybe 12.15 😉 I’m very tempted to do my 10 mile Saturday run in them, but my good sense is kicking in and making me stick with what I know. I’m sure I’ll get em broken in during the next few days though.
