Hey Roz......Just repeat after me....I can do this, I can do this. Glad that you are feeling better and not haveing knee, butt or stomache pain. Like nono & Carrie have said you will be just fine.

When I first thought about doing this I thought that I was , but now that I have started doing it I know that I will be able to finish. Today was the first day that I went to the mall to do my walking because of the heat. It was so nice not getting overheated and being able to walk for the whole time that I was suppose to do. The hardest part about today was when I had to slow down for my cooldown walk. Body kept wanting to go faster and walk longer. But, I just did what the training schedule said.

Missed my 7 mi run last night 'cause I crawled in bed 15 min before I should have headed out to run!

BUT, I did set my alarm for 5:15 a.m. before I fell asleep and got up and ran 5 by myself and then swung by the house and picked up Renee for the final 2 mi.

I signed up for a 10 mi race on Aug. 2, and I haven't run a long run since... June 4 (7 mi) or June 6 (6 mi). But I can squeeze in an 8 miler at the end of this week, so I think I can do this comfortably. I tell you this story to show you how all your training will pay off in year 3. It won't be such an effort to maintain your fitness level and you won't be a slave to your running schedule. So, here's my plan for this week and next to make it to race day:

M-T-W: 7-4-5 F-S:5-2

M-T-T: 8-3-4 S night, race night: 10

What have you done for your feet lately?

Seriously, we are running and walking and putting serious mileage on our feet. We track our shoes, and give them rest. Our feet aren't so lucky. Soooo, do you do anything nice for your feet every once in awhile?

Aaaaaaaa......NO

Well you SHOULD. Time for a pedicure!!!!! Lets all go tomorrow!!!!!

[nono]

Some easy ideas for giving your feet some attention:

Soak 'em for 15 min. once in awhile.
Use some oil or lotion and give them a rub a couple times a week.
Use a footstool or hassack or recliner and put them up for a few minutes here and there.

More involved:

As CB suggests, get a pedicure.
Book a 1/2 hour reflexology session with a massage therapist.
Buy some recovery sandals from one of the big names in sports shoes.

OK, can we have a roll call of where folks are staying for the Porncess? I can't remember, and just realized that if everyone is staying at SSR, then I can book now....but otherwise I'll wait until next month to try to get where y'all are going....

Gail and I are seated in lawn chairs waiting patiently in line to book a OKW 2BR. I have a ressie at SSR, 1BR right now just in case. Gail called the other day MS and asked a few things (we are linking ressies for 1st time and ya'll know how I get easily confused) and the lady said availability was looking good for 2BRs. Then again, we know how that changes on a dime.

We picked OKW for the lower points, I couldn't believe how much higher this season was. Plus it's OKW.

I have today off since I'm on call/work the weekend. I ran late last night (only 2.5 still, I'm only on W6 of my C25K) and couldn't believe how much better I felt afterwards. There must be something to this whole exercise is good for you thing afterall. I have been horrible with crosstraining, and think I might just go buy a seated bicycle thingy at Sears. It would be cheaper, much cheaper than joining the gym and then I have the whole no excuse late at night thing.
