This was supposed to be a shoe update, but I'm having picture issues, so pretend I never posted this and read the next post.

Interesting. Periwinkle is actually my favorite color (well, one of them), but I also kinda love the mint green ones. Thanks for the insight!I have the Grey/Black/Blue and like them, but I would buy grey/green as my first choice. I buy a lot of mine from a running store that sells their "lightly used" return shoes so I get them way cheaper that way and can't always get the color I want. To me the blue honestly looks a little more purple in person, kind of a periwinkle color. They are pretty, but I love the mint green ones.
Good choices! Thanks!All good options, but I think I like the 2 purple options best!
Excellent choice. Thanks!I would probably vote for the black/gray/purple ones.
Excellent color choices. Thanks!I like either the blue ones or the green.
Very different options, but both great. Thanks!I like the Dark Purple-ish/Gold and the Blue/Whites one the best.
So ... you're saying you're biased. I will accept the answer anyway.I like the quasi purple and gold ones the best, but then again dark purple and gold were my high school colors.
The expiration date of the coupon seems relevant here. If it will still be available when you get the next shoes, levitates for sure. If not, I would go with the brooks because I blow my money on other things.
I’m also voting mint green with a backup periwinkle.
For marathon shoes, I'm a firm believer in get what you know will work because there are at least 26.2 reasons why the more expensive cost is a better idea. Again this applies if you have already run a marathon in a brand/shoe style that you already know works for you.
Part of my perspective comes from having assorted family members with a variety of feet problems they've had to deal with in life. I've come to accept between those issues and my shoe size, I will always have to pay a lot more for shoes than the average person. Which I suppose has made it much easier to swallow running shoe prices since they really aren't a whole lot more than what I'm already used to.
That's the tricky part with running shoes. I bought a pair of New Balance last year and they worked really well. Except for distances over 8 miles. So I just used them for shorter distances. Switched back to Nike for longer distances and the marathon. I need to get new running shoes before the marathon, so I'll probably just try the same Nike model I used for the marathon. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.The new shoes I'm looking at would be for my half in February - so I'd have plenty of time to see if they work for the distance and get something else if they don't.

I can't guarantee this, but I've heard if you ask about it, some locations may honor the birthday drink the day before/after at Starbucks.
