      Marlene, it's hard to write a response worthy of everything you said above. Suffice it to say I am thinking of you, hoping you get answers that will at least help you make decisions, and hoping there's a way for you to continue finding the joy in running. {hugs}

      Funny, but mine was the same race in 2008. I remember the huge American flag hanging between the fire trucks ladders. It was very inspirational. I also agree with you about the strollers, since I almost got got tripped on several occassions. All I could see was me and someones child tumbling onto the asphalt.

      I didn't even know there was a controversy about the stickers lol - I love my 39.3 and 26.2 stickers - a reminder of what I can do and what I've accomplished!

      Funny about the popcorn, Marlene! I hope the chiropractor helps, it helps me when I go for sciatica, then follow that with a 30 min. massage.

      Hmmm... sounding a bit like sciatica nerve problem maybe? If so, the chiropractor should be able to help! I think if I smelled like popcorn that would be a distinct improvement from my normal BO :-)

      Good luck Marlene . As fit popcorn, I think that's normal as some things (onions / garlic) do come through pores .
