Happy Saturday, Everyone! Still no trails for me 
, but today was my last long run before my HM next Sunday in Monterey. I am still battling the blister issue, getting a nice one on the end of toe this morning. This is getting very frustrating, but I'm sure I'll eventually hit upon a combo of blister relief patches, blister prevention patches, lube stick, duct tape - I got it all, baby!
Just wanted to say, "Howdy!" Gotta get my transcription done so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hope yours goes well.

Good luck with the blister thing Fattie fat fat. You could always go with sandals girlfriend.
You think my orthotics would work well in sandals? Hmmm - probably not. I have so much crap attached to those suckers now, something's gotta work. Will find out this weekend!

Question: How much of your identity is wrapped up in being a runner generally and in being a trail runner more specifically?
I would much rather be known as a trail runner. Once in awhile I don't mind hitting the road for a long run, but it gets old real quick (as it has for my training for the HM this weekend). I am very ready to be back on the trails. As far as my identity being wrapped up in any kind of running - for the first time in my life, I feel passionate about something. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever say, "I run," let alone, "I trail run" or "I want to be an ultra trail runner" or "I just signed up for my first trail marathon." 
Right now, I'm lovin' what I'm doin', and I like bragging about it. Who knew that at 40 I'd start a whole new life and adventure? It's great!

Cute cats Fatozzig. Funny, a cat showed up on our door step a week ago which in itself is amazing. We live in a rural community on a major highway for VT where the cars go zipping by at 50-60 mph. Luckily the neighbors took the cat in because the nights have been chilly.
Interesting question posed by Greg-afraid of coodies-olowe 
I had to think about it for a while. I'll have to be honest and admit that it's a big part of me. It's done wonders for my self-esteem, training for the Adirondack marathon in 2003 got me through my divorce and now that I've become a personal trainer it gives me more credibility in that I walk-the-walk as well as talk-the-talk. I love being in the woods and trails seem to suite me better than pavement.
And I have to go along with what Ziggy (sorry-can't call her Fat) said in that I've only been running since '99 and would never have thought that I would be signing up for trail 50 milers and contemplating a 100 miler once I turn 40 which will be in March! and I thought getting my belly button pierced when I turned 35 was wild and crazy! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!
