Not THAT broken down, apparently. Good for you! No blister problems?

Absolutely! I DID get them just walking the three Danskin miles and am still trying to figure out why.
What was it about your socks you didn't like?"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

Oh, too cool! You're doing the Nike Half? That's supposed to be a wonderful race! I tried to get in to it, but didn't make it, and after the LiveStrong challenge, my fund raising is tapped out for the year so did not want to do the TNT. I'm doing a couple centuries instead.
WAY TO GO on the six miles!!! That's a good distance!
My achilles tendons bother me, too. Make sure you stretch your calves very well! That really helped me, as did taking one of those roller sticks and having my DH massage them. Also, if you wear heels a lot, try to start wearing flatter shoes - if you wear heels a lot your achilles doesn't get stretched like it should. Switching to flats helps. One more thing helps me - when I run, I make sure I do the full roll from heel to toe. I messed my tendon up by trying Chi Running which did not work for me - it suggests a midfoot strike. As soon as I went back to rolling through and making sure I did the full roll, I was much better.Christine

I think they were too thick. I wanted some extra cushioning, but this was too much. I have a variety of socks to "test walk", next I think I'll try the Teko

Go Snap! Go Snap!!!
My riding partner is doing the full w/TNT. (She had a baby and can't really take the time for the long rides just now, so she's doing the marathon. D'oH! Running hurts!!
She didn't believe me when I said no double century hurts as much as a marathon. Now she does. 
) So, anyway, now I have at least TWO people to go cheer!! I remember all the crowds cheering made a big difference when I did it. Do you think there'll be anything you'll NEED out there that I could bring for you? (You may not know the answer til you get closer, but feel free to give me any orders.) I am vascillating between the moto and the bicycle, but the bicycle is probably going to be easier to maneuver in the crowds.
