Re: Super soaker Sunday

managed 15k but man am i ever slowing down these days - 1:20. guess that's what happens when there are no goals other than putting one foot in front of the other and enjoying things. :D take away the wind and it would have been perfect conditions.

Re: Cross-border shoe shopping

the 18% reduction would be based on landed cost, not retail prices. so if a shoe's cost is only $25 then you would see a reduction of $4.50. All the other markups and costs would not be impacted by the lowering of and/or elimination of tariffs. i think people see 18% reduction and automatically assu...

but tights under shorts are a necessity to prevent the boys/inner thighs from chafing, especially on long runs
