I put it on before a run or workout or it can be worn as needed for up to 12 hours. It worked pretty well.5 Miles Past Emptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542419394717296576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-60806403273073615682012-07-08T16:57:20.514-05:002012-07-08T16:57:20.514-05:00I'm glad you had a pain-free run!

I'm not a brilliant mathematician by any means, but even I know 8x2=16! We decided it was a mistake and kept on going, then managed to completely lose the route and ended up making our own 25 mile course! I still haven't figured out who the heck put that sign there...but dang it, we got those 25 miles in!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227366713835267696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-88976801826510863492012-07-07T09:21:03.061-05:002012-07-07T09:21:03.061-05:00Uh oh!

Our brains actually need fuel too! Go figure! So when those ultra runners start hallucinating it is their brains starving for sugar. <br /><br />And you are so right, the miles fly by when I'm doing math...just in time to have to refigure the distance/pace...then I get frustrated and give up. Good thing I have a garmin!5 Miles Past Emptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542419394717296576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-70498675639745973582012-07-07T09:17:41.848-05:002012-07-07T09:17:41.848-05:00OMG!
