    $30 for a 5k?!

    Hopefully you get a tech Hopefully you get a tech shirt with that. But yes, that seems about right for the tri-state area. I ran a $60 10k two weeks ago (but I got a medal and a tech shirt, oh yeah, and I ran a race... so money well spent)

    Knot in my arch?

    Para, Pretty much the same Para, Pretty much the same here. I started wearing sneakers to walk to work instead of my minimilaist Patagonias and that seems to be helping a bunch. I ice it on occassion and rub it also. That seems to help. Like you, it never bothers me when running, but I have...

    Knot in my arch?

    Hey everyone. I am stumped. I have had a "knot" in the arch of my left foot for a month now. It is at the back of the arch right next to my heel but not in the heel at all. It hurts occasionally but not when I am running. I ran a ahlf marathon last weekend and it was fine. Mostly walking...

    Race time: Do you pimp out your feet? Pics?

    I always wanted to paint I always wanted to paint wings on my feet ala Hermes, the great messenger of the gods in Greek mythology. Maybe thats a good idea for the Ho-Boo-Ken 5k.

    Funny line for the back of my BRS shirt

    How about: "My eyes are up How about: "My eyes are up here" with an arrow pointing up? I always wanted this on a shirt because I get people staring at my feet a lot.

    Training for my first race...advice?

    As much as you need to ease As much as you need to ease into it, if you have no time goal, you can get up to the 5K distance by November. The 8k might be pushing it but as long as you keep a slow and steady pace, I think you might be able to pull that off too. I ran my first 5k 1 month after I...
