So excited for you...GOOD LUCK! I have some CEP socks that I got on ebay (yeah I was not down with the $60 price either)...I think I got mine for $29 or $30...still expensive for socks but felt like a steal at the time. haha! So worth it though...I LOVE THEM! and wear them to LRs, half-marathons and I wore them in my marathon this weekend. I like them and feel like they really help my legs during the race and with recovery. <br /><br />I just got a spibelt too but have not tried it yet! I usually wear a nathan belt that is similar to it and carry my camera in that :) <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful night :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378429616486417815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-29442759216771562122011-06-14T17:09:18.119-06:002011-06-14T17:09:18.119-06:00yippeee for new gear!yippeee for new gear!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665644808858115598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-61100369086954236502011-06-14T15:12:54.456-06:002011-06-14T15:12:54.456-06:00GOOD LUCK out there!! you'll totally rock it A...GOOD LUCK out there!! you'll totally rock it AND you'll do so looking awesome in ur cool new running finds. :)<br /><br />don't let yourself get too nervous, you've put in all the work and now's the fun part. i laughed about the pee part because i'm the exact same way! i have to make sure that i go RIGHT before the start (of any run actually...lol) because there's nothing more uncomfortable than a full bladder. :)<br /><br />awesome job on your last hard workout and go in with the confidence in knowing that you're ready to roll...and make sure to have fun!!Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317570286404554637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-35515485349408703342011-06-14T11:10:06.470-06:002011-06-14T11:10:06.470-06:00LOVE your new socks!

I think you...I am so excited for you to run a 10k! I think you are going to fall in love with the distance. And like you said no matter what it will be a PR. Gotta love that.<br /><br />I wear my Zensha compression sleave when I race anything past 10k distance because they seem to prevent cramping and speed recovery. For shorter distances I usually do not wear them. But hey if they match your outfit I say go for it. They definitely aren't going to hurt you.Rachelle Wardlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924064419764851273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-88723407421527584172011-06-14T09:46:42.264-06:002011-06-14T09:46:42.264-06:00I love my spibelt!

I use a Nathan pack to hold my phone, Gu chomps etc. And it stays in place most of the time. <br /><br />I wear my CEP compression socks for long runs and races and *think* my legs feel better. The recovery seems to be faster in them. <br /><br />And good luck on the 10k. I'm sure you will rock it. I'm interested to hear how you pace yourself for it because *gasp* I've never done a 10k. I've done every distance between 5k and marathon. Something about 10k distance scares me. If I can shake this calf-shin problem I've got, then I'll register for a 10k in a month or 2.Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-54709576748717404622011-06-14T07:53:54.690-06:002011-06-14T07:53:54.690-06:00Exciting on the race this weekend!!!

Just kidding, it's not one of those 80s things, it's a water bottle holder thingy, but it can also hold my phone and mp3 (b/c i'm a moron and don't have an arm band thingy for my mp3).<br /><br />But I love it so far. Oh and my new tennies that I got a few weeks ago (except that I have a huge nasty blister on my Achilles tendon from it. boo.)<br /><br />You'll do great on the race!!

I have compression socks that I've only worn in recovery. Although sometimes I forget that I own them... maybe I'll remember after my long run this weekend since I've forgotten the last 2. I bought a less expensive pair - I can't remember the brand, but I think they were $30ish...

I didn't realize that those things can cost $60! Yikes!<br />Here is the link to the product that I bought at the runners expo:<br />http://www.armpocket.com/<br />I habe the sport i20 in black. I bought it to carry around my beeper and Blackberry Torch when I am on call.<br />The only reason why I would look into getting some sort of belt to hold my gadgets is because I wear my ipod classic on my right arm and this armpocket goes on my left. Even though it really shouldn't matter, I don't like wearing something on my left side. I know it is weird. I am thinking about other options for my ipod so I can wear the armpocket on my right. I like to have ALL of my music available for my run so if my mood changes, I can change my music. That us why I haven't downsized to a small ipod for runs. I might have to consider it though!Jess A @cajunrunnerjesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483633828532103352noreply@blogger.com
