What to wear to race a marathon in cold rainy weather

Luna Sandals

My foot measures 10.25 inches or 26cm which puts me at size 8.5. These were a standard size with the standard hole placement, so I did not need to email them a printout of my sandal foot tracing. (I once ordered 9.5 which were too big.)

Oregon System for sub-15 minute 5k
