The finger light was a hit!

It worked quite well, could have been a big brighter, but when you balance the brightness (we could see fine) with the size and weight of the light, the finger light won out. I borrowed this one but ordered them at Glowbug.com, make sure to get the ones with the velcro strap. Also, I used the foot powder that I mentioned, and it seemed to work well for this distance. The true test will come in 2 weeks, but it worked fine today. The name of it is Blister Shield, found at 2toms.com. Also, I tried their other product, Sport Shield, this morning. It is similar to Body Glide, but made of a different thing (silicone). It worked (for me) better than Body Glide and with no smell at all. I am not yet sure about the foot powder, but I can vouch for the Sport Shield stuff, it worked great for me. I used it on bra lines, my pit area that always rubs, it was perfect.

I have to say today was a great run. I felt strong and really enjoyed it, as soon as I got over the eery, weird feeling of getting onto that completely dark trail. That was a strange feeling. Boogerbears everywhere. I enjoyed it very much, and will miss all of you next week. Will be at the beach for a week of R&R, except for training.

I'll be keeping up with blogs here and there, so everyone have a great week and I'll see you in 2 weeks.

I heard about the cool finger light, but did not know it was yours.. I didn't know you were a tech geek! Anyway, have a great week of R&R, and see ya for the 20!

Consumer Reports would do well to hire you to evaluate products. Thanks for being our tester and evaluator for these items. I can also see a use for the finger light during deer season.

Thanks for the info about the finger light because, of course, now that you mentioned it, I want one! I love gadgets! Have fun at the beach.
