Can i just pick my packet up anytime after 7am and before the timed 5k starts at 915?

Air base is having a 5k run on base open to the public. November 11th I think. 8am. Selling tshirts all proceeds goto ALS research.

The run is up and down the runway and taxi ramp.

I believe so. They should have sent you an email about day of activities.

I have the email if youd like me to forward it to you.

Wish I was able to make it. I did go down and get my bib today and let the wife get my shirt. Good luck Rob.

Do any of you other runners ever get shin splints? What was your remedy for them?

rest, ice, compression, elevation... also, when i used to get them, i would draw the cursive, uppercase alphabet with my big toe on each leg a couple times a day... if you can figure out a way to strap a couple ounces of weight (a soup can or something similar in weight) to your foot after the first week or so, it will help also... those two things usually work for me

I think I deleted that email. Their website site just said 7am, I figured that had to mean starting at 7am, but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks. :bigthumb: Hoping to be under 30.

Yeah I used to. Rest is really the only thing I did for them. Also i would suggest staggering the length of your runs. Gives your body some time to heal. Like if your long run is 4-5 miles, save that for a Saturday. Then run say 2 miles on monday, Wednesday and thursday. This will help with you endurance and slowly up the mileage on the weekends. What kind of shoes are you running in?

i picked up some gts 10's that helped my shin slints...

Asic Gel-Nimbus 12's

I think I was just running too much too often and my legs need a break. Im gonna take a few weeks to rest then get back to it. I just hope I dont lose my motivation.

Clock said 28:45, BUT i wont know what my exact time will be until they email me. Should be close to 28:00.

Id also like to add, HOLY SHIT SLOW PEOPLE. If you dont get up front, your time will reflect it. I probably could have run it in 27 flat. But god damn I was passing people all the way to the finish line.

Joe. If youve got something to say, then say it.

hahahah awesome. i hate running because of the impact and i always rode bikes.... i just recently started running and right now i get 2.5 to 2.75 miles in 30 minutes. i want to be at 3+ within a month or two. (doing it in skate shoes too ftw lol)



poor joe got hustled.

Was gonna run the race for the cure, but headed up to street thunder instead. Got it 12 miles yesterday though. Legs are a little sore today lol

How do you wear the barZ?

As Colin would say, crickets...

By assuring my car has been faster than youRz for 5 years running

Doesn't count, your car uses performance enhancing drugs:mrgreen:

Shin splints are from repeated impact to the heel....Switch shoes, or take the minimalist approach, and switch to barefoot style running, where you run on the ball of the foot....

Ive been running in five fingers for about 10 months now. It was a huge learning curve to adjust to running on the ball. Lots of soreness and basically starting over with my endurance. But my stride is much stronger and Im actually faster now. Definitely worth it to me.
