Very Recently, there has been a good deal of inquiries by the
American FTC against bloggers and website developers
for not revealing advertising profits, or potential
connections with ad networks.

What are your ideas concerning how this could potentially effect
the blogging world?

[...] Money-Saving Tips for Runners » Complete Running Network – These are the kind of tips that I want to use on my blog. I love the idea of using fruit juice and water as an isotonic drink. And who’d thought slim fast could be used as a recovery drink! [...]

This option is not open to everyone, and it takes time and dedication. My wife is a running coach at the local Fleet Feet store in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She gets more free stuff than anyone I know. They take care of their coaches, making sure they have plenty of technical shirts, socks, shorts and hats. And for each “class” she coaches she gets a free pair of shoes. She coaches about 3 or 4 groups a year, so she is well stocked on shoes. And above all, it is very rewarding to get people involved in the sport you love.

The powdered drink mixes are about a third the price of the bottled stuff, so I use those. Besides, that’s what they are usually serving at races anyway.

Also, Slimfast is as expensive as those bottled drinks so its a wash if you use that stuff, I think. You might try chocolate milk (from the powder mix) instead. ALOT cheaper and just as good for you post-race.

And AMEN on the stupid “energy” bars. They are vitamin (barely) fortified candy bars. Worthless waste of money. Real food is far better and cheaper. Except for the fact that a banana stuffed in your pocket gets you odd looks from strangers (and friends too for that matter).

I’m not sure combining a vacation and a race saves money. I started doing that a couple of years ago and find I just want to travel more…lol.

I’m off to San Diego June 1st. Next year we’re looking at Big Sur and one I still haven’t chosen. Heck I’ve got 6 weeks vacation to use..lol.

The other cheap way to do sports drinks is to buy Gatorade dry mix at a discount store and then mix your own…don’t pay for the water. Benefit…you can fine-tune the concentration that works best for you. Probably cuts the cost by 2/3.

“April in Paris” is a classic, by the way.

I’ve been doing the slimfast thing for a couple of years (my friend read about it on McMillan Running too). It’s very effective.

Don’t get too romantic the night before? Where’s the fun in that?

I think it would be more accurate to say that you should plan on not being too romantic the night of…
