Running Disney

[MatterhornMiss]

The Rocket City is looking better and better. I am certainly not looking to BQ. I would like some day to run the NYC marathon (though I understand that is a lottery process to be able to do so), I have no inclination at this point to do Boston.

Well, my first round of job-supplication letters are finally in the mail! We'll see what comes of them.

Does it only hurt when you go out in the cold or go walking? And you don't have asthma, right?

Nope, I dont have asthma....And no, the pain was off and on since I first got it Sunday....I think I got the pain because of being out in the cold originally...I did 6+ miles last Saturday in 22 degrees w/bitter wind, and the pains started the next day....They are a lot better today....Today I was scheduled for 7+ miles but I didnt want to risk it...I was able to 4.7 though Then I got a blister on one toe and a cut on the other one

Huntsville is only a couple hours from where I live, MM! I am showering your job letters with pixie dust!!

Look at you bookin' it, CB! And always with a smile on your face.

I LOVE the pic with all the Peacocks!

I finally made it to the 5k pics of everyone and I loved them. Yes, that group picture is wonderful

Thanks for everyone's well-wishes. I'm not sure how soon to expect to hear back, since I'm basically sending unsolicited CVs (but I didn't want to go through one of those head-hunter agencies, and this route was suggested to me). I want to send out several more letters.

Well, and I have some more good news! I ran a total of 3 miles today--and 0.75 of them were outside! What a gift. Then I took another 10 minute ice bath. (Should I be worried that after a few minutes it starts to feel warm? )

I've decided it's better if I run until I have weakness, as the pain goes away when I slow down, but the weakness doesn't. The pain is sort of not a good scale, since I can have a dull ache even when I'm not running, say, after I've stood a long while.

athenna--do you use moleskin? It works wonders on blisters. I got horrible ones during the RFTT, slapped moleskin on just about every toe, and was able to walk around WDW for a week without any pain. And great work with your training (believe me, I understand the frustration of set-backs). I can't wait to see you at the race!

jigger--haha on the cones (I'm sure it would be even funnier if I were on the inside of that joke, though CB's race report was pretty funny). Congrats on signing up for the race!

Lisa--Huntsville is only a couple of hours from Nashvegas, too (which is part of the race's appeal). Although I like to plan these things out, I am open to several races in the fall, and the appeal of possibly getting together with a Peacock or two would very easily sway me, if anyone has any plans for a marathon around that time. . . (Since this will be my first, I could use any sort of support--though according to the reviews, the fans are supposed to be great for the Rocket City. I saw pics of Piggly Wiggly cheering on the runners.)
