Normal route with Larry this morning. We stopped briefly along the way so Larry could check out the lawn at a church where he was going to be bidding a sprinkler project later in the morning.

My RaceReady shorts arrived yesterday so I tried them out this morning. I even loaded 6 of the 7 pockets similar to how I plan to for Boston: one eGel packet in each of the smaller rear pockets, my cell phone in one of the velcro side pockets, and my cards/ID/cash in the other velcro side pocket. I wasn't disappointed. The shorts are very light and comfortable and the contents fit in the pockets perfectly.

Gee Paul I was ready to dub Greg as the WBR team fashion mogul, but now with you getting these fancy-pants shorts you might be in the running!

I'm curious...where did you order these shorts and how long did they take to arrive? As you can see I'm becoming jealous of all this fancy gear I've been exposed to lately.

I ordered online directly from http://www.raceready.com/ on the night of Thursday, 3/29. The shipping method I selected was "Regular - US Postal". They shipped on Friday, 3/30 via USPS. They arrived on Monday, 4/2. I was shocked at how quickly they arrived.

Here's what I ordered:

2601LD: Men's LD "SIXER" Shorts $32.95

SIZE: M COLOR: Navy

Shipping: Regular - US Postal $4.95

Total: $37.90

They say the Regular-US Postal shipping method usually arrives in 3 days. It worked for me.

OK I made an impulse purchase and bought a pair as well. Hope you don't mind if we're dressed like twin-ers for the race. I figure the first step in running like the great ones is to dress like the great ones.

I don't mind at all. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
