Now I've knocked it off. Thank god. ;) When I see others post about their fitness stuff I always encourage them .

That's so sad it's just a little bit awesome.<br /><br />Also, re: Garmins/Race Clocks...I work for a Race Management company. Those clocks and timing mats? All based on software...which was programmed by a human. Not always what folks might label as "accurate", either. Not that Garmin is Timing God, but when I use the same timer for training AND racing? My instinct is to rely on what I know to be accurate, for *me*. That having been said, I do keep track of race results based on clock time. Makes me feel more fair/honest.<br /><br />Babbling done.

All it does is up the anxiety factor for me. I figure it's enough of a habit for me that I don't need motivation from Facebook, and it can also look like showing off. Showing off wasn't cool in the 1980s and it's not cool now, even though many many people do it.Terzahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-70917697679908319162013-01-22T15:49:37.835-08:002013-01-22T15:49:37.835-08:00Thаnk yοu for sharіng your info.

I've never thought of it that way and it's GENIUS.<br />One of my least favorite things about running is lululemon -- or more accurately, what it represents to me. It irritates the sh*t out of me when people drop a buttload of cash on a bunch of apparel and suddenly think they're legit runners. Runner=someone who runs. (Me=jerk) By the way, I know there ARE legit runners out there who wear lulu but I have this weird thing against it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-18524808301410726612013-01-22T01:35:56.437-08:002013-01-22T01:35:56.437-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313843904696172842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-19744443686243202402013-01-21T20:02:21.405-08:002013-01-21T20:02:21.405-08:00Those mizunos are VERY pretty!

Still, I can hate on some trends, particularly the mud runs and color runs. I don't get the point of the latter (you want me to ruin clothes and shoes?!). If you want to do a fun run with friends, why not join a local 5K or 10K that goes to support a local organization or charity? The mud runs bug me because they seem to attract a lot of people who think they're really badass but are not runners nor fitness buffs. It just seems like they want to create a fun team/costume and have photos for social media. Also, any race that charges people to spectate/cheer is lame.cindyluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153325833848911874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-60181667808181679462013-01-21T13:27:17.355-08:002013-01-21T13:27:17.355-08:00I just bought my first pair of Mizuno Elixirs and ...I just bought my first pair of Mizuno Elixirs and I love them!
