MILE 1 - 7:45 start time. 50 degrees and sunny, high of 72....
MILE 2 - When I went back to wearing my older shoes, my feet felt great during the run. But I noticed after the run and all night my left heal really hurt. That is why I have continued the experimentation with the shoes...
MILE 3 - I loosened the laces up yesterday and felt OK during the run, but last night my feet were killing me...
MILE 4 - The search for the right shoe continues...
MILE 5 - I got home from work last night around ten and hung out with my daughter until around eleven. Then managed to get to bed around one!...
MILE 6 - I really need to get to bed a little earlier!...
MILE 7 - Today will be a repeat of Monday and Tuesday. As soon as I finish the marathon, I will hit the shower, then go to work and get home between ten and eleven...
MILE 8 - It's a good thing that I am only doing this for a year!...
MILE 9 - Only ten months to go!!!...
MILE 10 - One day at a time!!!
MILE 11 - Heading into the marsh...
MILE 12 - The best part about running in the marsh is there are no cars (or buses!)...
MILE 13 - Down by the river now...
MILE 14 - This has to be one of the most beautiful days of the year. Time to cross the Mississippi...
MILE 15 - I must make a point to really appreciate not just every mile of days like today, but every moment...
MILE 16 - There will be many days in the next ten months where the conditions will be nothing like this...
MILE 17 - All I need to do to appreciate what I am experiencing right now is remind myself. Simple awareness...
MILE 18 - I found a fellow tortuga sleeping in the road. There is always time to move a turtle!...
MILES 19 through 22 - My Blogger app froze up again like it seems to do once a month or see. I had to delete the app and reinstall. At least it kept my mind occupied the last few miles!...
MILE 23 - Now I get to run with my son Kahle until the finish...
MILE 24 - We are sticking mostly with low traffic back roads at this point...
MILE 25 - Almost there!...
MILE 26 - So far today my feet feel very good. Now if I could just stay off them for the rest of the day, I would feel great! But, the bills need to get paid, so off to work I go.
AND if you haven't checked it out yet, check out the iFitness Running Belt Giveaway at the top of the blog. I have worn mine everyday since I bought it and wouldn't run without it!
