Or rather it was this synthetic plasticky fabric stuff with a Velcro closure that got really, really nasty because of all the sweating.<br /><br />I just get all my clothes from Uniqlo and that way they're guaranteed to match :) <br /><br />Thanks!!! The weather is lovely but it's expected to rain this weekend...Gracehttp://www.genechallenged.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-87079350475547111862013-08-22T06:41:45.741+08:002013-08-22T06:41:45.741+08:00Ahh!

I also feel bad blowing past hikers bit I feel bad blocking runners while I'm hiking. <br /><br />Yeah, I think the left is the correct side on the trail, where we ARE traffic. :)Gracehttp://www.genechallenged.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-25801889952795146542013-08-21T17:13:45.426+08:002013-08-21T17:13:45.426+08:00Haha, the more you know...

I love these watches. I also remember the first time I switched from the cloth band to the plastic band. It was a big moment for me.<br /><br />Malls are the worst!!!!! I haven't set foot in one in ages, although my clothes all seem to be falling apart so I might have to suck it up in the very near future. The thought makes me shudder.<br /><br />GOOD LUCK AT PERTH! I hope you're able to relax (well, besides that whole marathon thing)-it sounds like you deserve a break!Jeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093299012409826185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-90240006406447087842013-08-21T12:11:13.051+08:002013-08-21T12:11:13.051+08:00So, the left is the correct side?

I'm never quite sure here, to be honest.<br /><br />And as much as the traffic annoys me, I also feel bad blowing past hikers, and/or suggesting (even in my head) that they hike single file. They're just out for an adventure with their friends/families. Single-file = less interaction with each other. I'm so torn about the crowded trail situation...<br /><br />But don't worry. I think the race course in Perth will be plenty full - but hopefully we're all going in the same direction. Ummm....except for the out-and-backs....Holly @ Run With Hollyhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-64360494374860724812013-08-21T08:30:55.987+08:002013-08-21T08:30:55.987+08:00All the best!

And enjoy the coffee while you're at it... it was delicious the last time I went :)<br /><br />I can't imagine you saying "SIAM LAH!" on a trail; I always imagine you as very genteel and civilised! Hahaha... <br /><br />Do you generally not run with music?Shoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885749232987220181noreply@blogger.com
