I'm running bay to breakers in SF this weekend and I was wondering if you could tell me where your wife was able to find gold nylon shorts and the headband/wristbands and tube socks? i found the track shirt, but i'm having so much trouble with the other elements of the "uniform." Any info is greatly appreciated! thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390947579382719621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-14140717491940461092008-05-01T12:38:00.000-07:002008-05-01T12:38:00.000-07:00Happy Belated Birthday.

When I had some IT/knee issues last year, it helped to swim regularly (and do deep pool running). I felt like I was getting a good core workout and keeping my fitness up without the pounding of the runs. Be sure to ask your doc though, and good luck!<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-2981522928526137822008-04-30T13:43:00.000-07:002008-04-30T13:43:00.000-07:00Bleeker!

I have just begun training for the Boulder backroads marathon in Sept.

If you can be Bleeker and get a PW of shy 4 hours, then I ought to get some improvement in my time with a Bleeker outfit.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, with all your praise for Injinji, I set aside my fashion standards and picked up a pair. They take longet to put on then normal socks and they felt weird for the first few miles but after a few hours on the trail, the toe freedom became oh so exhilarating.<BR/><BR/>Now if you can only get Injinji to design a toe sock to replicate Bleeker's tube socks.

I am not built to run either but not in the least offended by your remarks. In fact, some of us take a great deal of personal pride for fact that we don't look like runners. I thought your report was classy. Now it's on to WS training for you, probably best you didn't hammer your legs into submission the pavement anyway!
