Garmin said 10.75 miles in 7:17 pace

I guzzled at least 40 ounces of liquid when I got to my car.  It was hot and I was THIRSTY! 

My right foot/lower leg is still feeling tight.  It was super stiff this morning before I started running. I did lots of stretches and warm up ankle rolls and that seemed to get it moving.  Had ART done on it yesterday and Richey said that my extensor digitorum longus is the culprit.  I'll go back in for more ART on Friday.  He also said he'd look into some good exercises for me to strengthen my shoulder.  He defined me as a "chronic shoulder dislocator."  Sounds defective.

I've never heard of an extensor digitorum longus. And a "chronic shoulder dislocator" does not sound fun either. At least your wicked fast and incredibly strong.

Mel-Thanks. And you keep up that awesome baby growin'! Remember, frequent servings of protein to keep the nausea at bay.

Carolyn-Pretty cool name for a muscle, eh? Its the muscle that attaches down into your feet, so thats why it is making my foot really stiff.
