AM- 4 cross training, plus my first 2 miles running since RR.  I plan to increase mileage 1-2 miles per day as my foot allows.  Hopefully I'm back on track now, so that I can actually stand a chance to compete with Cody next month.

Foot? Did I miss something? I thought you also were having hip issues. Is this new from the 100 or a relapse from something before? Also what are you wearing on your ankles in the picture? It looks like there is a shoe covering to me.

Adam- yes, my foot has hurt since Rocky Raccoon, but it appears to finally be getting better such that I can run a bit this week. Don't know if my hips still hurt- I haven't run far enough yet to see if they are still problematic.

I am wearing gaiters on my shoes. And yes, they (kind of) match my shorts.

if only I could comment anonymously.... I would love to take another swipe at those green gaiters.

Since you and Cody are running the wimpy 50K next month, and I'm running the 100-mile at the same time, we should probably establish an over/under on what mile I'll be on when you start your little run. I'll be starting at 7 p.m. the night before. There is a chance I will see you on the course, but I hope a small chance.
