Resting from the marathon on Saturday... Quads are really really sore, walking downstairs is almost impossible, and my big toe unter the nail is an off color blue I hope I don't lose the nail! Pinkey  toe on the same foot has a major blood blister and I'm sure I will lose that one! My big toe is super sore, especially right underneath! Ouch! I'm planning on taking the whole week off but it might be longer with the toe issues, I hope its not though I'm ready to get back out there. I signed up for the runners series and was able to get in, I think it filled up in 8 minutes, crazy! I will be running Painters Half again and then the Spectrum 10K in march, should be a fun time. My plan is to get stronger over the winter in my quads and calfs and start doing hills earlier so I can be better prepared for SG next year, but mainly I want to stay injury free and then be able to run 6 days a week again.

See ya later.

Legs are starting to feel better. Soreness is slowly going away and I'm starting to see some improvement. My big toe is still sore and my brother-in-law looked at it yesteday and thought about taking the nail off but then decided against it. He just taped it up and wants to go that route and see how it recovers. It does feel better today when I walk so I hope that I don't have to remove the nail, I guess time will tell. He also drained my little toe but that hasn't been to bad. I'm still hoping to starting running again next week, just hoping to ease back into it.

See ya later.

Well, its been a week since the SGM and I seemed to be healed up pretty good... My toes are coming around and I think I'm ready to start running again on Monday. I need to get ready for the Painters half in January, so hear we go. My goal is to actually stay healthy for a whole year and be able to stay at it and really go after some PR's for a change. let the madness begin!

We traveled to Oakley today for Ethan's soccer game and we had another barn burner, Ethan scored 3 straight goals to tie it up and then his friend Zac got a goal with a few minutes to go to win it! The kids played hard and never gave up! It was awesome!

Se ya Monday.
