by Running in the Bike Lane
posted July 15, 2009 at 8:28pm
I love Zombie Runner. Any time I'm in the vicinity, it's a ritual to make a pit-stop there. So post Stanford wedding on Saturday, we headed to downtown PA for a visit to the Zombie. I'd read about Ginger as a good anti-nausea and stomach soother for runne...more

I've been running with the Drymax Running socks for a few months now, convinced after Preston bought two exorbitantly priced pairs at Zombie Runner. I have to admit, I do love them. So much so, I was devastated that in my post Ironman induced haze, I comp...more
