This weekend, I did the San Diego rock and roll marathon. For this race, and in training, I used avia shoes that were usually about $17 at Walmart. When I bought my two recent pairs, they were discounted to $11!
My previous best was 4:38:06 in 2011.
This year ... 4:09:58!!!
8.3 ounce size 12 shoes..
Best kept secret. I was even able to go through the first half in 1:44:32.
Thank you avia and Walmart.
