It's always shorts weather where you are. If anything, this weekend was a little cooler than normal.

If it's what I'm thinking, it's to help support ankles and prevent injury.

I believe road runners nationwide stores custom fit them for each person. I've heard nothing but great things about them on running boards

no..these things...i know they are for tendons...but EVERYONE was wearing them...so i figured there was more to them than just a tendon problem...not that many people could have fucked up tendons at the same time, and at the same trail..

Let me guess, a reference from the rare straight to DVD Disney underground classic, "Bambi III: Meat and Greet"

Last race I ran was a 5 miler, hilly as hell, steep, 1/2 trail 1/2 road out of 85 runners I was the only one wearing sweatpants.

Bands are how runners can identify which of each other are gay. Not surprised most are wearing them.

Princess L · « **Reply #22 on:** March 06, 2011, 04:01:17 PM »

Is it some sort of reflective band?
