I have been having a bit of pain in a foot lately, and of course there is still the lovely purple toenail to brag about. I went to see my podiatrist, Rose Marie Sotolongo, and she ROCKS!! She made my toenail all pretty, no more purple. And she recommended some new inserts that should help me run more comfortably. It should help my little foot pain, but remember all my trouble with the tender balls of my feet all summer, the trendy ankle sweatbands, etc.? Well, she said these inserts should make a significant difference with that. Of course I won't know until next summer, but I did come home and run a super duper 5 miles. I felt great, even though I haven't been running regularly since Chicago. Work is cramping my style, messing up my chi. Hopefully I can knock some stuff out this week and over the weekend, and then I'll get back to my regular morning runs. Although I have really enjoyed leaving the office and running after work. I haven't had work stress in awhile, so it's nice to be able to nip it by running. Most days I can't wait to get out there, and when I can't go I get frustrated. That's exactly how I want to be -- excited to run because it feels so good, it is so rewarding on so many levels.
By the way, I am officially training for the HALF marathon. I'd like to run the whole thing, and at a slightly faster pace than I've been running, so I feel the whole would be too much elephant right now. I'll save that elephant for next October, and can't wait to put some ketchup on him!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday -- remember to hydrate and eat well, even though it's cooler, we still need it.

It's so good to hear that you are feeling better and that hopefully you have found the solution to your foot problems. I'm getting back out there slowly but you're right, it does feel good. Take care and happy running with Sandy!

I am happy you are still going at it, even if it is not as much. Don't let the work kill you!
