Re: Replacing Mizuno Wave Elixirs

I'm in the same boat Jen. And it sounds like we have very similar feet. I've tried the sayonaras and HATE them. Our rep said they might be doing some tweaking in the next run though (so this summer) Andy has been helping me stockpile Elixirs for a few months now. I have 4 pairs left before I have to...

Re: New runners needed post-baby

I think other-Jesse had issues with her feet going up a size after baby. . Yup! I actually borrowed cast-offs from AndyM for awhile before I committed to buying anything new (her feet are just a bit bigger than mine). I eventually went up a 1/2 size, but I think I also switched shoe models at the s...

Major victory in my books today! Baby*Smiles is 7lbs 10oz now! I worried he wasn't putting on weight and he is doing great! For those that don't know, he has Down syndrome and weight gain is a real concern for the development. I was wanting him to gain and he did :dance: Other than that concern thi...

Re: Around the Bay 2014

Hmmm ... with all the 30K bibs now being up for grabs ... wonder if it is worthwhile to run a double jeopardy and run the 30K as an lsd while also running the first leg of the 2-person relay ??? :what: :what: :shifty: no. That's what his relay partner said as well. If you're doing 30k, what's the p...
