Today was the start of our training. Nice group this year with a lot of first timers. My last run was the start of Nov so I was really out of shape. 2 miles is not fun for me right now, but I KNOW by next Sat (a 3 miler) I'll be in much better shape!! That pinched nerve seems to be settled down now and being nice. Better stay that way. The steriod I was on to treat it was something I DON'T want to do again. Prednisone on really nasty to start with and when you have diabetes it makes it much worse. I can't imagine people taking this stuff without a real dire medical need. I feel great!! Happy to be running again

Way to get back on the road Bear. May 3rd will be here before we know it. Felt like a heat wave out there today with a wind chill of only 24F.

I see you goal for the Mini. My goal is about an hour behind yours. Walked it on '06 in 3:40 ran it last year in 3:18 (with a screming IT Band) so this year I'd like to be at 2:50

GAWD I ddn't want to run this morning. And I have felt that way most of last week. I ran this morining for 2 reasons. 1. I knew I needed to to and 2. because the wafe didn't want me to. We still have ice on the roads. I did the run sans recoveries. Not a fast pace but one I could have run all day long. I feel GREAT!!! Our training group had one of the Running Shops in this morning. They brought a mini store with them!!! I was looking to buy another pair of New Balance 767s. But when I showed the guy my current pair he said I needed a pair with tougher soles!! I have worn the heels down from pronation. The res of the shoe looks, feels and acts brand new. Said I still had 200 or more miles on them if I applied shoo goo to the worn spot and built them back up. I ended up buying Brooks Adrenaline 7 (GTS 7) They feel nice and light and "springy" OH and he advised placing duck tape on the heels to see how many miles I get before I go through the tape. I am thinking if I keep applying the tape after I wear it out, I end up wearing out tape an NOT the heel. We'll see
