Pricey socks and my accomplishment this week

I've had several of you mention the pricey socks that Scottie and Tim (I think Floyd has some too) wear. I bought them probably a month ago, tried them, and slid around in them during a short, weekday run. I normally run in thicker socks than that, and I believe that running in those is what gave me the black toe that I had to deal with awhile back. So be warned, although moisture wicking is a big deal, so is sock thickness and what you are used to. I can recommend a great black toe surgeon, but better you don't need her at all. I hate it because I love those socks, they are very soft and feel great, but I can't run in them.

My accomplishment this week is that I ran 3 whole days in a row, AND actually cross trained on Sunday (by walking 3 miles). I didn't think I'd exercised 3 days in a row since we started this training, but in looking back at my log, I see that I did actually do this back in May a couple of times. I still work on my consistency, but am finding more people to run with on alternate days in my area. I have my Belhaven running group (they run M/W/F) but am trying to drag out a couple of friends in Fondren on T/R. It worked this week. I had skipped Monday, but ran T/W/R, and will take off tomorrow. My legs are tired (since I haven't been doing this on consecutive days very much), but I'll be ready to go on Saturday.

I can't believe the CM is this close -- we'll have 5 weeks left as of this weekend. WE ARE THERE!! We have already put in the work, it is just a matter of continuing what we're doing, staying healthy (which means don't overdo) and getting on the plane!! WE ARE MARATHONERS!!
