I then laminated it and put in one of the pockets of race ready shorts. It worked great! (I actually carried two in case I dropped one. {I didn't need the second one}) <BR/><BR/>Good Luck in the race, I am sure you will do great!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-1159317399643400762006-09-26T20:36:00.000-04:002006-09-26T20:36:00.000-04:00Hey Joe, Thanks for stopping by.

My husband has a degree in Manufacturing Engineering too - he worked in Injection Molding for 18 years and is now in Rapid Prototyping. <BR/><BR/>I read your previous post too, and will certainly be keeping your son in my thoughts. We have two friends over there right now, two in our running group who've been there, and one friend who was there at the beginning of it all. I worry enough about them - I can't imagine if it was one of my sons. <BR/><BR/>See you Saturday!Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-1159306822976648622006-09-26T17:40:00.000-04:002006-09-26T17:40:00.000-04:00Ha!

Mom thought is was the world's greatest product.... and she would want you to have white shoe laces!! Although I'm not a runner, I do enjoy your thoughts..... and I'll be monitoring you next Sunday on-line!!<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-1159123363665524112006-09-24T14:42:00.000-04:002006-09-24T14:42:00.000-04:00oh, the taper madness is in full swing! lol.i'm ch...oh, the taper madness is in full swing! lol.<BR/><BR/>i'm cheering for you joe!

The e...You had me laughing through this whole post. The eyes, the running ink, comparing all the measuring devices, just funny, funny stuff.<BR/><BR/>I gave up on the printed, taped, wrist mounted pace bands awhile ago. They annoyed the heck out of me, especially since I usually fell behind. In Bellevue I printed one and taped it all up but I kept it in the front pocket of my Fuelbelt and pulled it out (obsessively) at every mile. And yes I had to look over the top of my glasses to make out the little print! I had both the pace expected for that mile and the total time to that point. That last bit of info was really helpful.<BR/><BR/>The devil is in the details right? Try to keep it together for one more week and go have a great run in Portland. It looks like perfect weather conditions. I'm not going to be there but if I was I'd know how to find you - I'd be looking for the guy with the whitest shoe laces!Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217970340507557462noreply@blogger.com
