I fully agree... I got half the amount for a birthday present and used part of my tax refund to buy a pair... I may not run marathons like some of the younger runners, just turned 72. But YEARS ago, I had a two years string where I never lost in my age group... then I crashed and burned so they say. Ran a race that I shouldn't have... dehydrated and ended up in an ambulance with someone saying "Do you know your name?" I couldn't respond and spent 4 hours in the emergency room. I cut way back and never used an antihistamine again... that and my asthma almost killed me. I continued to run and had just so so times.. I'm WAY TOO competitive. When I saw Kip run the marathon under two hours wearing them I decided to test run a pair... They should be illegal in competition.. the kickback you get propels you forward at such a rate, it gave me times I thought I'd never see again. My bride had a fit when I bought my second pair but hell, at 72, I figure I've only got ten good years left!
That sounds awesome Steve... I'm glad they work for you and the Mrs. is on board. Hopefully you'll be able to continue to run as long as you want... Keep up the great work.
