Go figure
If you like the DS-Trainer, you'd like the DS-Racer as well. Even lighter and more comfortable. But it's made smaller, so one must buy half a size bigger (I didn't know that when I ordered my regular size online. I can wear them comfortably, but my big toes are both bruised and I'm about to lose the left one. Again... sigh...)
Thanks for the tip! Right now I use the Gel Tarther for real tempo efforts, but I wonder if something with just a touch of stability almost wouldn't be better. Back when I was in the DS-trainers I still had yet to rupture either PF. I hope you meant you'd be losing just the nail, not the whole toe If not, I may skip the shoe lol

Yes...lol. The toenail is what I meant.:-) I always make that mistake... lol... Just a touch of stability with the DS-Racers, that's exactly what you'll get.

Morning all! I struggled through 5 slow miles this morning...around 10:00/mile. My legs are just dead....working almost 70 hours this week is probably not helping! Weezer: DH said he saw someone coming out of North this morning in yellow shorts...I figured it must be you!! I wore 2 pair of tights and 2 layers on top and was still a little cold. What group do you run with? I have thought about trying to find a group for occasional long runs!

That was me - I did need 2 shirts though. It was only 28* but it got colder as I finished my run.
I'll send you a PM about the running group.
I AM WEEZER.
Back from my 3.6 mile run. My legs just wanted to go. Final is done! Yahoo!
Running is my mental-Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Recovery run: 8 in at 9:28 pace. I felt really crummy. I am hoping it's due to the 15 miler yesterday and not this nasty cold, but it's probably the latter.

Sorry I have been MIA but it has been hectic.
5.1 miles today. I really need to invest in a good headlamp. I used one of those small headlight dohickeys but I think that only allowed cars to see me because I could see nothing with it.

Lori, have you tried the knuckle lights? I was surprised they were so bright!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

They are incredibly bright, Lori. I love mine!
The other day, I was carrying it on the same side of my Garmin. I looked at my Garmin. I was blinded, LOL.

I almost bought some Knuckle Lights today. Hubby asked me to wait until after Christmas. Hmm...
Do you even run?

Oh, forgot to mention - Since tomorrow's volunteer work is on a trail, I decided (while Christmas shopping) to buy some new trail running shoes. New Balance 610's. Nuthing fancy, got them at Academy Sports. I'll wear them tomorrow on my non-run.
One can never have enough running shoes.
