Russian champion tries Crocs, commits to racing a marathon in them
Nikolay Chavkin in the video below did 3x1000,
first two in Adidas carbon-fiber models, the last one in Crocs. Surprised by the result (2:52, 2:52, 2:50) with
the fastest interval done in Crocs, he committed to racing a marathon in Crocs if the video gets 42K likes and
195 comments (for 42 km 195 m, the marathon distance). Nikolay's current marathon PR is 2:14:00. The video
was created by a Russian sporting goods store chain. Their moto is
"more sports - brighter life", which we think is wonderful, and also deserves a Like. If you want to see a fast marathon in Crocs, go to the video and click the Like button. And make sure to share it with your friends.

| This is difficult to write...
I have been struggling with knee pain off and on since last August. I was hoping it would subside, but it has become progressively worse...to the point of pain all the time.
I cannot run at all. I have difficulty even walking up and down stairs.
I finally went to see a doctor a couple weeks ago. X-Rays were completly negative for Arthritis, even though the doctor was CONVINCED that my knee would be full of it with the years of running.
Next step was an MRI. I received my results yesterday and I have a COMPLETE TEAR of the inner Meniscus on my right knee.
Running is now completely out of the question for the foreseeable future. I meet with the Orthopaedic Surgeon on Thursday and we will see what he recommends.
To say that I am totally crushed is an understatement. Running those 2 Marathons last summer/fall made me the happiest I have been in YEARS. I was in the best shape I had been in for YEARS. Now I will have to start over...probably MONTHS from now.
BUMMED...
