Balance Bands out Speedster Bands in.

I know you have seen it or worse like me bought into it hoping that the "I just got suckered" feeling would go away.  I'm talking about the infamous Balance Bands that are at almost every expo, you know the bands that are made of rubber and have a reflector sticker on one side that is suppose to be a super balancing computer chip.  The reason I bring this up a fellow Speedster who just PR'd at the AC Marathon contacted me and said that when the bear jumped on his back late into the race he looked down at his Speedster band and read the words "Dig Deep" that are embedded into the rubber.  He lifted his head and pushed through the pain to PR. Some how this worked better then the super computer chip in the Balance band.  Big surprise!  Hat's off to all the Speedsters that have carried over their hard work and enthusiasm to compete.  Charlotte-running and completing her first marathon, Kami-Breaking the 2 hour barrier twice now, Allyson-Crushing her PR with a 3:05 in Chicago, Reene-PRing, Wendy-PRing, Harris-Qualifying for Boston, Mike Brown-PRing at the Wine Glass with awful weather, and Breandan-Percerviering and PRing in AC.  These are just the ones that are on top of my head so if I missed you I apologize.  Keep Digging Deep Speedsters!
