Foot Jinx

Well, after running 22 miles on Saturday with no problems with my foot, my 5.5 mile run yesterday did cause problems. I think it is Murphy's law kicking in.... The day you decide not to go to the doctor appointment, which took you 3 weeks to get, your foot decides to start hurting again.

I am not regretting not going to the Dr., since I doubt he would have done anything but look at me crazily after hearing I had run 22 miles without issues - physical that is - not mental. So, the debate will be..... do I skip my Thursday run and see how my 16 mile run goes on Saturday OR do my Thursday run to see how the foot does and run my 16 miler if it feels good? Ah... the stress of being a runner... quandaries all over the place. The one quandary I don't have is that I do plan on running the marathon. It won't be pleasant, but I will do it.

Oh - btw... I ran with Mike this morning..... ;-)

Hello Kitty?

A nice run this morning with the group - when is it not? We got caught up on Elyse's half in Elroy - town of 15,000 according to a heat delirious Elyse. Apparently, Elroy made quite an impression on her. Enough so that she added an extra zero to the population sign she ran by.

Christy is buying a new couch - HUGE news!

I also found out that Jill won a diamond Hello Kitty necklace. Funny how the "steak as big her head" was bigger news that winning a necklace (ok, it is a Hello Kitty one - so I can give her a big of understanding) and a gift certificate to Freight House. She must have been afraid that we would invite ourselves along!
