You rock! I'm still 2 miles shy of you in the long runs. Bastard! For the record, I do wear cotton socks. For me, they plant more firmly in the sneakers, so there is less "micro-slippage." It's all a personal preference, though. I do own under-armor - I almost never compete in it - it seems to constrict my lung capacity the tiniest bit. After my first ultra wearing it, I took it off and realized how much better I could breathe. This was after 24 hours of running, when my breathing was very weak on its own. Keep rocking! You're an awesome runner. Tom Polen Congratulations! You rock! I’m still 2 miles shy of you in the long runs. Bastard!
