  • I have a fitbit zip (clip on style) that I really liked but wanted to try a bracelet style that tracked a few more things. I got a Jawbone UP that I really liked but only had it for 2wks before it stopped working. The company sent me a new one but that also started having issues after a week of use. It was a shame because…

  • Yes-I was worried too but everyone told me 20 miles was enough and they were right. I thought the last 6.2 would be awful but as long as you don't start out too fast and fuel well the excitement of the day gets you through!

  • I agree w/ the others- if there is a running store w/ staff that can help you get fitted that would be best. When I got my first pair of good running shoes a few years ago it was w/ the help of a knowledgeable sales person who spend some time w/ me. I did wear new balance for a few years since that was the brand I started…
