| What was I thinking? Having just finished reading Born to Run -- a great book that talks about what damage has been done to runners over the past 30 years since the advent of running shoes, and because I had to run inside today on the treadmill, I decided to run in just my socks (it's a public treadmill, didn't want to oog people out). The run felt great for the first mile or so -- I felt so liberated, free of shoes...I ramped the speed from 6 to 7.5 mph....feeling good. Around mile 2, I could feel a little blistering in the center of the pad of my foot. By mile 3, I called it quits. I stepped of the treadmill, and my feet were burning up -- I didn't realize how much friction I must have been generating.. Anyways, I probably should have started slower or less distance and worked my way up. 3 hours later, my feet still feel a little sore. BTW - I was going to run 6, but only managed .5 more miles with my shoes on -- they felt like lead weights on my feet! I'll probably give it another try in a few days, once the blisters have subsided. Seriously thinking about trying the Vibram 5-fingers..

Lunch run w/ Darin. Felt pretty good -- feet felt OK (the blister in the middle of the ball of my right foot doesn't hurt much with shoes on!)

Does anyone know anyone going to the Boston Marathon this year who would like a roommate? I have a room reserved, but it is a lot of $$$ for me to pay for the whole room alone -- I'd be willing to share my room, or give up my room and share someone else's. My wife would prefer that my roommate be a nice man...but I'm flexible. |

| Drove 4 hours to Stillwater, OK to spend the weekend with my in-laws. When I left the house it was about 32 degrees -- got to Stillwater it was 55! Just had to go for a run. Ran 6.2 -- 2 laps around Boomer Lake. I'm finally getting the Bronchitis that my family has had for the past few weeks. Went to doctor and got a Z-pak anti-biotic -- I need to kick this thing quickly -- I have a marathon to pace in less than 2 weeks!!! AP: 7:23/mi
