Mmm I’ve never been to the Tin Fish — I will definitely pay it a visit if I’m in town this summer! I go to school in Chicago — but I miss Minnesota all the time

i had an awful day like that yesterday. ugh!!! it was awful. but, you gotta remember that the next day is probably gonna be better!!

i desperately need a new pair of shoes. i was due about a month ago but i want to wait till i’m done with my half so i’m not breaking them in then. and i want cheap ones, so i’m gonna search my model online till i find one on sale.

i was the same way…i CAN’T STAND shirts around my waist when i run, so that’s why I was nervous to try the fuel belt. but, i was really surprised when it didn’t bother me!! good luck with the amphipod though!

M.E.>> My stress fracture was actually in my fibula down around my ankle (right leg).. not my back. I had to take 5 weeks off of running completely for it to heal up, and it pretty much sucked. I went crazy during those 5 weeks!! I’m really sorry to hear about your sfx, and I totally get how anxious you are. Just remember that running on it when it’s not 100% healed will just delay you getting back to running even longer! Hope you’re recovered soon!!

For those of you asking about the shoes:
I always wear Asics. The gold and the blue pair are both GT 2130s, and the orange and gray pair is the 2120. I swear by my Asics, but everyone has a different foot so make sure you’re getting your shoes from a running store, and have them look at your feet and stride to find the right shoe for you!

Aw, sorry about the day. Despite the rain tomorrow, I hope it won’t be a bad day for you.

Flippin’ sweet shoes! What model is it?

Hey I just read in an earlier post that you had a stress fracture in your back. I was recently diagnosed with a stress fracture in my sacrum. Is that where yours was? How long was your recovery? I’m so anxious to get back to running!

Wow that looks like a beautiful view from the restaurant!

Sorry to hear about the crappy day, I hate those days, it seems like once one thing goes wrong, everything does, but at least you were to look at it with a positive spin!

Too funny, your thoughts on hydration systems are the same as mine. I am up in Lake Placid, NY and my dad (long time runner) is telling me its essential to fuel during long runs, so we went looking at them today, but I don’t wanna where a gernade holster looking thing around my waste, let me know how that goes, I was looking for more of an arm/hand thing myself, if anything. In my hometown my dad would drive out and hide his water behind trees and rocks, but you can hide ANYTHING like that in the city for more than 5 minutes unattended, haha.

Sorry to hear your day started out so “shittily” (is that a word?). Anyway, those shoes are cool–what specific type are they? I am always looking for a good running shoe. I have a collection or retired pairs too–I can’t stand to give up a comfortable pair of shoes.
PS I love that brand of hummus! It’s getting harder to find though…Where do you buy yours?
