And exactly how many times have you updated your layout? I've had the same stinking layout since, well, forever. Please stop making the rest of us look bad. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-7757730715029254972009-04-03T18:32:00.000-05:002009-04-03T18:32:00.000-05:00Love the new pink blog layout!Love the new pink blog layout!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349542334778262405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-59448000970887873322009-04-03T09:33:00.000-05:002009-04-03T09:33:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for doing this post...I'm a form...Thank you so much for doing this post...I'm a former runner, but quit when my life imploded on me (long story!). In fact, the last time I ran, the new sweat wicking fabrics were much too expensive for my student budget, so I stuck to cotton, HEAD TO TOE. I've been trying to get back into the swing of things with running, but was faced with a mountain of gear that no longer works (or, rather..no longer FITS), and I had no idea where to start or what I needed, and was worried that I'd just be oversold if I walked into a running store and went "Okay, what do I need?". (how whas that for a run-on sentence!)<BR/><BR/>So, thank you so much for this post, I LOVE IT!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633602603535507730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-23530776347969841172009-04-02T20:57:00.000-05:002009-04-02T20:57:00.000-05:00THANK YOU for this post!

But I almost always hit a point when I'm sorta lagging and getting tired, so I pop the earphones in, blast Korn's "Coming Undone" in my ears, and suddenly, I've got energy again.<BR/><BR/>I can't imagine surviving a run without my tunes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-19740790072584313832009-04-01T18:56:00.000-05:002009-04-01T18:56:00.000-05:00Great post!Oh, but you just have to tempt me with ...Great post!<BR/><BR/>Oh, but you just have to tempt me with the garmin, don't you?

Once I can run 30 minutes (I know, I'm a wimp) non-stop, I'm picking that bad boy up.<BR/><BR/>I'm planning on running a half marathon NEXT Spring when we got to Disney World. I thought it would be an awesome experience for my first time out there. Keep the tips coming!karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817590134705086185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-39318922097972988092009-04-01T16:23:00.000-05:002009-04-01T16:23:00.000-05:00Thank you!!!
