Carla was/is from Holland and a real speedster in her day, I am pretty sure she was not Finnish. Is Jan Ettle still competing, she was a real talent also?Henry, finding the right shoe fit is key,personally I like to train in a racing flat, I have for most of my athleticcareer,the best way for me to feel good in a shoe is as though it is a hand in glove feel, the shoe conforms to my foot lightly and I still feel in touch with terra firma.I got sore ankles running in the foothills above Tramway as well though, massage therapy will help!

I ran a whole bunch of marathons. OTC and Honolulu in 78, then 10 years later did everything from pittsburg to LA to TC to the 92 trials to vegas. Was Buerskens that blond (Finnish?) woman? I was with her until the kahala mall I think. I was in 2nd until diamond head when Jan Ettle stomped me on the uphill and I finshed third. Just this week I started to put more hills into the mostly flat miles I've been running. Have to keep working on that weakness because I really think it would befun to go run cascade this year and I don't want to suck too badly!
runamook,
Yes, Buerskens won 2 or 3 years in a row. I thought you had her the year you ran. Believe me, you stomped a lot of other runners that year. Your other note said you only ran 2 marathons.
Henry, sorry to insert this note to runamook. Best of luck. I'm enjoying hearing about your comeback.
