You only got one chance, do not miss this opportunity to blow...



8 miles. I am in a little shock. Not only 8 miles, but virtually pain free. NO shin splints today, just a little arch irritation and a beautiful 8 mile work out along the C&O canal. 4 miles up, 4 miles back. Just an incredible experience this weekend. My training miles are now over 60.

Today, I took one of the inserts out of the shoe that fits the foot that has been giving me so much problems. That gave me much more room, and that definitely did the trick. I also donned bio-freeze on both feet and shins before the run and that helped. One small problem which brings up this note to self: never, ever forget the body glide. Never! One word: chaffing. But, it was no problem, and just like that, we finished 8 miles. Still in shock.

I also started a weight reduction program this week and had solid results.

Another week of travel upcoming including runs in Chicago

and New Jersey.

Thank you thank you thank you for your moral and financial support. I am looking forward to reaching $10,000!
