bunions, no toe nails and now bruises... what I need is a pair of pillows with tread.
Today we were at the track. A pacing drill. 2 miles at 8:00 , 1/2 mile easy jog, 2 miles at 7:55. Bet you didn't know running was such an exacting sport. I pretty much hit those numbers. 8, 7:56,8:01, 7:51 just not in the right order.
The plan for the next month has a bit of speed work in it. We will race the Seattle Half Marathon at the end of Nov. and my goal is to get off the 1:47:xx mark. I'm very consistent in my race times. It's always 1:47 something. I'd prefer to be faster but hey, a 1:48 would at least be different. :)
Baseball playoffs.... St Louis is at the Padres. Either way, friends are happy. Maureen and Barb, from Vegas, have a nephew (Brad Thompson) who is a relief pitcher for St. Louis. And Bev and Diane are definite Padre fans. (and neighbors of Aileen now) But they are all at the game today. Well, poor Barb had to stay home and work. Sorry about that. And Padres lost. Sorry about that.
Now lets go Tigers !!!

Stories about the feet - OK. We can mostly all relate at some level. But photos of the feet? - too much information! My advice (which you didn't ask for) is stick with the end of race pix and, of course, the photos of gina's gourmet cooking.
But, then you might well suggest I get my own blog if I want to be such a Blog critic.
Full of you know what in Portland
oh, you know i'm bored and at a loss when i start photographing my feet. it must have been the crushing defeets of the seahawks and packers that spiralled me into the foot funk.
At least you can claim to not have hairy "hobbit" feet. You've probably chaffed that all away on those long runs.
By the way....went down hard on my bike on Monday. I don't recommend it. Mostly bruised pride, yet I swear I have a separated shoulder. (Of course the doc in the house thinks I'm a hypochondriac!!)
Looking forward to the Dawg Dash!
pam b.... that's awful... do you have any photos of the crash?
