And I may have to try this streaking thing.....

We might have to change the name of the group, because I've thought about this once the marathon is done. I can't imagine trying to keep a streak going the week after a marathon, my legs were trashed for a week after the last one.

Well, I thought so, too! But his office just called and canceled my appointment. Funny... if I were to do that less than 24 hours ahead of time I believe they'd charge me a no-show fee. I did get rescheduled to next Tuesday, but that is so far away! She said she'd try to find a cancellation for me earlier than that. What sort of emergency does a podiatrist have that would call him out of the office? I can't imagine.

Bummer. Actually they do get called to surgury because sometimes injuries have to get fixed ASAP.

Shan, the monkey marathon would have been a crazy first effort. Like crazier than something I would do type of crazy. Bugs, you are my superhero. I need your discipline in base-building. Since my first two marathons Ive not been able to keep motivated for more than a month. Ive thought about streaking in the winter after Vegas. Joining back up at the Y and can do some indoor streaking.

Well, I did the one thing tonight that I didn't need. I played basketball with some guys at church and rolled an ankle. It didn't seem bad because I played for another hour after it happened, but you know what happens to these once you take the shoe off. I don't swell much and this isn't too swollen, but weight doesn't feel great on it. At least I've got a few days before the 15k, and more than enough time to get better for the marathon. I am stupid enough to play next Tuesday though. Promised dad I wouldn't play the Tuesday before the marathon.

That sucks, Brian. Hopefully it wasn't as bad as you first thought. I've pretty much abandoned any sport that makes me move laterally. I got injured 2 years ago playing softball. How sad is that? Guess we're all getting old.

OH Brian! There is a guy here at work that did that exact same thing during marathon training. I think he had some degree of taring too...he missed the marathon. Doc said that your legs get used to moving in a certain direction and when you switch to a sport like basketball where you have short sprints and sudden stops your chances of injury are really high. I'd reconsider playing basketball till post marathon.

woo hoo! I've never been a super hero before. Although I don't think I've run near what I should have.... And, Bugs, I forgot to say that I LOVE your new pic. Cute kid too.
