"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong

And I also have developed very painful blisters on my little toes on each foot...probably because of my new shoes I wore Sat for the first time.

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Be safe. Be kind.

Tim - Try getting some New Skin or any other liquid bandage, and paint it all over your little toes before your run. I’ve found it really helps a lot as a blister preventative.
Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
(which brings up a question I want to ask.... many of you do 400 m to 1000 m intervals outside, and I don't think you're using a track. How do you measure? Use the Garmin? I wouldn't trust it to be accurate down to that degree... at least not up here. How do you guys do it, Steve? Tramps? Lou?)

Well, my right upper leg has been giving me some problems. Right where the leg connects to the upper body on the inside of the thigh. After yesterday's run in the snow, it was bothering me all day - not to mention during the run too. SO, as much as it pains me to take a day off - or two - I guess that is what I need to do. ~Mary

"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
