What a team we have!!

Bear with me -- I have several different blog ideas to catch up on from the weekend.

I have to say I had a blast Saturday with my newfound running buddies. I've run some with Sam before and really enjoy it, but then we met up with Leanne and Floyd, for the making of a great "random interval" team. We did great, finished in under 3.5 hours, and could still smile. We did all yelp and groan at the same time each time we started back running from a walk in the last 2-3 miles, but it got funny we were all so stiff and tender. I really enjoyed running with you and getting to know you, and I look forward to many more runs to come.

I think I fared decently well physically, my ankle started aching the last 2-3 miles, but did fine until that point. I look forward to running without that dang brace, but if I have to wear it in October, so be it. My feet bottoms were tender, and thanks to the advice of Tim and Floyd, I ran to Fleet Feet that afternoon and got my spiderman socks (and two other different types to try). My existing socks are great for 10 miles or less, but after that they stop wicking and I start whining. Hopefully these new socks will do the trick, and I'll probably be faster than Tim in them. :-)
