Geez, I just got a cheapie. No pockets in there at all. Maybe I'll take a look at one that might hold more. Right now I'm just worried about it falling off--there's not enough velcro for me to tighten it sufficiently. :)

Wow, Dale! Great idea! And you're doing Leadville! AMAZING!!! Please send us a race report (and maybe some photos?) after you do it. I for one would LOVE to hear about it!

Simon, I am not sure why, either--could have been safety, but I was running in the morning and kept close to the University, so unless I hit a neighborhood I shouldn't have by accident, it was quite fun. I was the only runner I saw, but that might have been because I wasn't running in a park--just along the sidewalks. I look forward to someday checking out the running scene in London with you, Simon--next time I make it over there. w00t! :)

There is something about the treadmill for some of us, isn't there? I just seem to go slower (maybe the bounce absorption has something to do with it), feel crappier, and can't wait to get off. I don't mind walking on one (then I can read or watch tv), but running is pure torture. :) No running machines for me. I've even run in 10 below zero (Fahrenheit zero, not Celsius zero), though the ice in between the layers when I got home was a bit disconcerting. :) And by the way, folks, I need to note that I DIDN'T GET ANY OF THE COOKIES. ALLAN. Where's the love, dude? ;)

Congratulations, Jim, on your first tri! You did it, which is what matters in the end to all of us mid-pack folks. Rock on! :)

Thanks, Shelly! Sounds like I now have two types to try! And I better do it soon, because the cord is getting seriously shredded at this point. :)

Thanks, Larry! I'll look into the HE detergents at Target. The Sears stuff isn't bad, and you get a lot of it, but it'd be nice to use liquid instead of powder for a change. :) I'll also check out the ear buds. Thanks!!! :)

Excellent that you're doing your first half this year! Awesome! And thanks, too, for the shout-out! I was in Manchester a few years ago for work, and what I found interesting about the city is that folks tended to look at me oddly when I was running outside. People kept explaining that there was a running machine" in the hotel. :) I just explained that I preferred running outside (in the rain). Not sure too many folks got it, but I kept going outside anyway. :)

Hahahahaha! Ok, so we have some rivalry. It's all good when it comes to the runs. :) I love the fact that you did the race that ends up on the speedway. I used to travel to Indy each May, and sadly, seemed to miss that race EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Was very disappointing, but I'm really glad you got to do it! :)

Did the McMillan calculator and my Marathon pace would be 4:17. So now I know what my goal is. W00t!

Allan, let's do a sound test (w/ laugh and without) before our next show. I DO tend to laugh a lot, and I'm sorry it's loud enough to be annoying. We should try to figure out how to clean that up. :)

I agree with LDGirl--the differences are interesting. Makes me wonder how the back-and-forth with the vibrams will be. I'll have to do some testing on that.

Good link on the shoes--I'm liking the Mizunos for now, but the Newtons will definitely be on my list. Thanks!

Jay, Excellent point. I have recommended that plan to several folks I know here, too, and think it's a good one. Thanks for posting it here for everyone! Stevie

Hey Scott, I actually use my Nike+iPod sensor on the strap of my Vibrams, and it seems to work just fine. I need to reattach it every time I put them on, but that aside, I've not had any problems with it. I got the Sprint (I think--don't have the shoes w/ me, but in looking at their site, I those look like what I have). You can see the image of Allan's and my shoes at http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevier/4297329793/ I have the Nike+iPod pouch attached to mine in the photo. Hope that helps, and thanks for commenting! :)

I am totally with you on this, Rebecca. I have a hard time "stopping to smell the roses" and am really trying to do better at looking around me these days. I don't "love" running, but I love how it makes me feel (as Allan was saying earlier) and how it helps me control my weight (as I like to say, "We Roccos are a stocky people." :) BTW, I am LOVING the Vibrams (more on that on the podcast we're recording tomorrow), but Allan and I haven't compared notes yet, so it should be interesting. :)

Just got done listening to the mix, and ended up downloading the tracks. Wow! That is great. I will put it on my ipod for the next run--hopefully the rest of the disc is as zippy. :) Thanks!

Hey Allan, I'm really glad you tried it. Did you find any soreness diminished today as a later result?
