		<description><![CDATA[Aqua Sphere Vista Goggles
SUMMARY: Very comfortable, seal well, but fog up quickly.
I had some Speedo Sprint goggles that seal well, but are tinted blue, and I get double vision when looking at the bottom of the pool. I also had some clear Tyr goggles that I see very well out of, but they don&#8217;t seal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buying a wetsuit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chances are I wont even be able to wear a wet suit at the Louisville Ironman. This year, and last year, the water was just too warm. So chances are it will be too warm next year as well. But I would rather have a wetsuit and not need it, than to need it and [...]]]></description>

That qualified me for the 2009 Boston Marathon when I will be 45 years old. I needed to run at least 3:30:59. So I qualified by 45 seconds. I would have finished a [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Balance trail running shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the Damn Wakely Dam Ultra coming up next month, I decided to check out my trail running shoes. I was pretty sure one pair was worn out, but I thought the other ones might still be good. I dug out the shoes. I wasn&#8217;t sure which pair was older. I had to check my [...]]]></description>

But mid 90&#8217;s is insane! This last weekend we drove to the Pittsburgh area for a wedding. I didn&#8217;t have access to [...]]]></description>
