Solid

For those of you like my sister-in-law who think I've gone off the deep end a bit with some of these musings, the duo pictured above is Ashford and Simpson, who sang the hit "SOLID." Given, the title of this post, that is why they are pictured there. So, yes A.M., there is a reason for the picture. My run today was solid. Everything was good. Shins fine, calves fine, Spirit fine. Solid.

Today was the best individual training day ever. I went farther in 22.30 minutes than I ever had, and the return was good as well. (I run for 22.30 minutes then turn around and run back)

I am recovering fine from Sunday's 18 miles and gearing up for this Sunday's recovery of 9 miles. I ordered a second pair of shoes last night, because the coaches have advised that it's time to break in a new pair in time for the October 29th race. I've put about 175 miles on my current ones which have served me well. Brooks is a great brand. I wear a 10 for my normal shoe size, and for running I am fitted for an 11 EEEE. My feet are indeed wide.

My next run is Thursday for another 45.

Thank you so much for your moral support and donations in the fight against AIDS!
