Night run thru neighborhood and oak lea. Still pretty damp out from all the rain over the last two days, but the temps have been tolerable. 49 degrees when I went out and the rain had stopped. 35:04/7:01

I had very little soreness Monday but had a busy off day, plus Lily recuperating from a stomache bug tha kept her out of school, so no run. The only soreness I have now is a small touch of shin splints on right leg. I was dealing with minor plantar fac. in my left foot only since the half marathon and came to the conclusion it was caused by racing in my DS Trainers that my orthotics didn't fit into. I also ran a 10K in them and knew I had to have something new for the marathon. Asics Gel Ohana Racers did the trick, they are even lighter than the DS's and my orthotics fit in them perfectly, but alas the shoe has been discontinued. Hopefully it's replacement will work well for me. 5K race this weekend.

You are a god! I ran a 5k last week and I think I saw Roger Moreno pass me. I'm not sure because I was heaving my guts out in snowbank.

Hey Mark, great to hear from you. Any plans for a Manitowoc visit around the holidays? We'll be up there the 29th thru the 2nd. Are you still wearing those clunky New Balance's? Keep running!

We won't be there. We went home for thanksgiving. I will email you after I get your address from Ryan. Have a good time in WI.
