I had also planned to wear the clover compression socks and decided against it but I decide on a hat which I regretted pretty quickly. Man, I also suffered CIM... are we gluttons for punishment or what?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393232.post-5590303683436780552013-03-19T15:22:46.113-07:002013-03-19T15:22:46.113-07:00@Arvay -- aw, thanks.

I suspect I'm going to shoot for just over 4, but I'd love someone to run with, even if it's just to keep a good even pace for the first 10K or whatever.Biting Tonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770918200146334167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393232.post-86381595710365845562013-03-18T23:08:55.833-07:002013-03-18T23:08:55.833-07:00I admit to cyberstalking you yesterday and being a...I admit to cyberstalking you yesterday and being alarmed that there wasn't a finishing time for you. I'm just relieved that you didn't have a major injury -- another friend of mine tore her calf muscle yesterday at a marathon in NC. Seems like you've had tough luck with marathons recently, especially with weather and pacing leaders. Hopefully the 3rd time's the charm in SLO! My friend Kate is running that one too, and going for ~4 hours/just under 4. Maybe you guys will want to run together? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
