Running Disney

Yeah. I'm 8.5 narrow in the winter, 9 medium in the summer. Both of which are sold out.

So, for now, I continue to be a NB girl for the trail shoes (790s rock!), and a Nike girl. The new Adidas that just come in are pertty darn cool too and of course, they are also on closeout. BUT, they do match the color scheme of my house (I kid you not!), so I had to try them out. They are also lightweight neutral shoes, so they made it into qualifying, but the fact that they were light blue and orange put them in my cart at check out....

Oh poo none of your size. If we do the trail run next year I'll have to get me a pair of trail shoes but the 790's don't come in wide so I'll have to find another pair. Didn't get out today but I will do my time at work later tonight. At least at work I can get used to the warmer temps.

Carrie.....glad to see you're back and looking forward to your RR.

[Rozzie]

Welcome back Carrie! I've been anxiously awaiting your RR. I heard from other RR's that it was warmer than hoped for. Your time looked great despite that, I am in just awe of you! My relay went well, I PR'd the 10K at the end. I don't know if I'd do another, it was stressful at times getting the team from point to point.

So this tape nono, anything for the arse? My sciatica is trying to rear it's ugly head, I'm not allowing it too though. Lot's of rolling, some ibuprofen, stretching. Maybe I can tape it?

Unsure. Keep doing that twisty exercise on the floor I sent you a billion years ago. It really works.

Yep, I was doing that tonight and was thinking of you. I've named it "the nono".

Thanks, Carrie! I cannot wait to see your report

Finding shoes is so hard for me. I'm thinking my last pair that I ran the marathon in were not my most successful pair... I always liked the trail running shoes by Saucony so I got the new Saucony Triumph 6. Its for neutral runners which I am. They just don't seem to fit that well though. The hardest thing is not being able to buy my size in the store so maybe I should shop where nono did with low ship back fees...

Did you ever try Chiropractic, Rozzie? I absolutely swear by my "light touch" chiro doc. I think sitting and standing posture are also very important in warding off sciatic pain so no slouching, lady!!

[nono]

Lisa, what's great about road runner sports is you can run on the shoes and still return them. Never had to do it,as I can pretty much summarize by feel if they'll work for me, but it is nice to know I have that option.

OK, I just tied my first Ian knots, on the first try. I watched the video 2x last night and then did it from the diagrams this morning. Heading out to run. Will let you know what I think.

No slouching got it!

Okay, since we are all back to our designated parts of the country, I thought I'd ask what everyone's "plans" are for the next 2 years regarding races. I think it's fun to see what our individual racing plans are for the next while.

2009
Feb-Joe Cain 5K--Joe Cain Day is a huge party the Sunday before Fat Tuesday here. Mardi Gras is so big here, the birthplace of Mardi Gras, that kids get out of school for 2 days. I even get Fat Tuesday off LOL. Anyhoo my coach is the RD of this race, and has challenged us to "race it" without our "paraphernaila"--which he calls our Garmin and IPOD. Both of which he can't believe we race with. He is the ultimate old school. Anyway he only wants us concentrating on smashing and catching everyone in front of us. My hammies are hurting already. hehe.
March--Azalea Trail Run/10K--this is the biggest race of the year here. People run in it who don't even run LOL. Even the kenyan's come to try to break World Records in the 10K as the course is famous for being fast. It's a very old race and I just HAVE to do it now I'm a runner.
Oct--TOT 13K. I think ya'll are familiar with this one.

Looking for a nice Dec race, maybe a half somewhere close, maybe Bham? Lisa?

2010
Jan WDW Full--My first Full, starting the tradition of running a Full every year. Ask me that about Mile 22 and I may give a different answer.
March Gasparilla Marathon/Half Tampa--I am hoping to do that Bud Light Challenge thing, or maybe just the Half.
May-Flying Pig Marathon--I just have always been drawn to this race, plus RP is from Ohio. I hear great things about organization, loot and crowd support. I'll probably end up doing the Half, or maybe the Full? Who knows what type of crack I'll be smoking.
Nov-Tampa Trail Race--We still thinking about this, right?

Looking for a cool winter race for 2011 that's non-Disney. Jan or Feb. Open to suggestions. Was almost thinking about one of the RnR's. How on earth I'll get this much time off I have no idea.

I need to watch the video, the article just got me confused in that issue. Can't wait to hear how it goes!!!!!!!

[PoohsPal]

Thanks all! Getting close on my RR.

nono - Really curious on teh kinesio tape. Cool stuff.

Rozzie - COngrats ont eh PR! Wow, a full a year? Too cool! WOrks wonders for me! DO you know how to do pigeon (yoga thing) that helps my piri formis, which is the cause of my sciatica issues. DO you haev teh Sitck? This works well for me too. not sure if the foal roller does the same thing or not.

No idea what my scheduel is beyond porncess adn CHicago Tri in August. DH is working on this.

Very cool that Gail and Lisa will be diong the half together!
