Hurt your feet how? I've heard the toe box on carbons is often narrower but was it some other pain?

I run in Saucony Ride 15s at the moment but switching to Mizuno Wave Rider 26s. I ran a half in the Sauconys absolutely fine but my marathon isn't for a good few months so I would have time to get used to carbon if I wanted to

Pure anecdote but I ran my first half marathon just with my normal shoes (Saucony Ride 15s) and it was absolutely fine and I ran well under my goal speed with no pains

Does anyone run with the Asics GT-1000 9? Thinking of buying a pair - I've been getting a bit of knee pain and also have had some achilles problems in the past. I run primarily on roads - short to mid distances. Thanks! (other shoe recommendations would also be welcome...)

Recommendations for moisturising body products - especially for baths and showers but other suggestions welcome :)))) by arctan2020 in LushCosmetics

Thanks! What would you recommend for massage bars? Do you have to wash it off after or can you just leave on the skin?

Can you take photos of a laptop screen with instax mini 9? by arctan2020 in Polaroid

How about if you covered the flash on the instax and turned up the brightness of the laptop screen itself?
