Detox run.  I am itching all over and have lots of facial numbness and nerve/muscle pain and spasms.  Part of this endless Chronic Fatigue Saga.  I am reacting to the metal in my braces along with all the other environmental allergies I have.  My muscles feel weird and I can't sleep.  Appointment with Dr. Remington is Wednesday.  I live by the motto "Everyday is a Marathon, so why not Run One".  Really running keeps my focus on something other than my pain.  Did anyone read the article on Jenny Crain in the Runner's World?  Oh my, I cried and weeped for that family and for Jenny.  So I run no matter the pain because some people can't.  And a lot of people won't.  Read the article.  Life changing to say the least.        Ran 4.67 miles at 7:52 average pace.  Last mile 7:24.  Post running, itching all over.  Sweating out the toxins and now ready to take a hot shower (as sauna-like as I can get it, followed by cold water rinse, really helps me feel better).  Work tonight.  Look forward to working with the most precious little ones ever!!  Again : D.

julie - nice detox run. sorry to hear of the troubles. i am in the middle of reading that article right now. truly sad. and about ryan hall (i had too many technical difficulties with that post about the chicago marathon, then it disappeared and i didn't want to repost), BUT i did see your comment. i am assuming you read the RW article on him as well. he thinks he can do it. so i guess i do to. he says a 2:05. maybe?! it would be so great to see an american win it.

Everyday's a marathon!!! Some runs are better than others. Glad you had a detox run today.

Thumbed thru the Oct RW...sad but inspiring story about Jenny. I too hope Ryan, the American Hopefull, will win NYC in Nov.
