Great run Kim!  congratulations on WHEREEVER you finished.  I'm sorry I can't help you with the feet issue.

SimonR, I can relate to the 'no xtrain lately' Like, when am I going to find the time to xtrain? Running everyday, working, cooking for the kids, sleeping, ... I'd love to get out and hike, or ride my bike, or build up my upper body, it's frustrating but I do know that I love to run, and I'll keep doing it!

Joe, I picked up some Brooks 'Glycerin' shoes. More of a cushion in the shoe -vs- the Brooks Adrenaline GTS7 that I had. It seemed the Adrenaline only stood up to about 100 miles and then I'd have some significant knee pain. Yuk! A buck a mile is pretty steep for shoes. I'm hoping to get around 300 miles out of these Glycerin's, not to mention less knee problems.
and, thanks for putting me in the current thread!

I'll do my short recovery run (20 min) this afternoon after work.

Good luck everyone on your runs, or recovery today!

Kevin

Kim – great job on your half!!!!   

Misswindy – and you on your 10K and great pic, thanks for sharing! And Brett Farve in a thong…sounds good to me! Thanks for the thought Joe!

Chuck – Glad you got to the drs! Keep us informed and whatever you do Chuck, don’t pull a Tuesday-thong day tomorrow…just on Thursday so you don’t freak the surgeon out.

Kevee – sounds like you and I were on the save wavelength last week – pretty much what I ran the last part of the week too, including 6.6 on Sunday…as I was saying earlier, that is half of a half…we are half way there!

Alright Macd – go Colts! They just squeaked yesterday by though and your husband may be right with Vinateri’s track record the last few weeks! A real Benedict Arnold!

Well, a short TM run in the morning and then maybe 6 miles on turkey day…got to take advantage of days off!

Jeep, thought we had a few things in common, like our running pace.  However, now I find out that we couldn't be farther apart...Lions...who are they??? 

GO PACKERS!!!

NCSunshine, nice race and thanks for sharing. I would love to be able to do a 2:35 in a half even if it were completely flat. So I think that you did a great job and had a great time. As for the foot thing, I am for sure no expert and you have probably already tried my ideas...different shoes or better socks. I have a lot less problems when I wear winter type running socks that I do in the summer with the lighter weight socks. I was really surprised that I seem to have such a difference from something as simple as types of socks.

Chuck, good luck with the doctor. Please let us know how you are doing. Our thoughts are with you.

Peg, congratulations on the new job.

Today was a rest day for me. Just did a couple of hours of domestic aerobics (house cleaning) after work. Hoping to be able to squeeze in 20 miles this week between Thanksgiving feasts.

Hey everyone FYI - REI  is having a great sale on running shoes so if you have a favorite pair you might be able to pick them up for around $50!!

Kim - great job on your race! Don't beat yourself up about having to walk...a couple walk breaks can help you finish stronger than if you tried to push through.

misswendy - here are my two words for the day... VINCE YOUNG!

macd - enjoy your week off! You can justify all the potatoes and pumpkin pie by running as much as possible ... right!?

SimonR - What is your long run this week? It will be something to look forward to while you're at work !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!

Kevin - yeah you should definitely be getting more than a 100 miles out of the shoes. I have recently started wearing Mizunos and I LOOOOOVE THEM.

Chuck - definitely no thong at the dr! But seriously...hope you can get some answers tomorrow.

alex - I second that....must take advantage any time off! But there seems to be this yard full of leaves beckoning me....it's always something...

Peg - Tell us about the job??? And congrats BTW!

So...anyone doing a Thanksgiving day race? I'll be taking DH and my sister downtown (detroit) to do the Turkey Trot (10k) but I'm just going to spectate (is that a word???) this year. Although, there is a 5k as well...hmmm....you never know I may decide at the last minute.

NOW...on to MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!
