I'm having some issues with the front end of my blog - hope to have a look at it sometime tonight :)
August 2008 Archives
That is my pretty left shoe. And the other piccie is the heel of my pretty left shoe. Which gives you a teeny idea of what my left foot looks like. And no, it was not a blister (despite me being stupid and running 8.4 miles in new shoes). That was the result of a speeding van going past me, kicking up some glass that it hit and glass getting lodged in the back of my foot, the back of my leg and the side of my leg. Mind you, the ones that hit my leg left a lot less damage... I have a cut that gave me a fair amount of grief on the back of my foot during the run. I cleaned it out with some Gatorade Endurance Formula (which reminded me of some film, but I cannot for the life of me remember which one now).
The run itself was fun - the first 2 miles I thought the heat was going to kill me, then it started raining and for the next 2 miles I got wet before the sun came out again and by the time I reached Peg-leg at the end of my run I was relatively dry, although streaky here and there. But at least now my shoes are DNA marked :)

- 11 October - fly to South Africa for sister's wedding
Yes. I'm insane. I have no less than 6 "races" in 6 weeks coming up from the end of August, but I'm looking forward to it. A ton. A whole lot :) And I'm not REALLY counting the Human Race as a race. And then I'm flying to South Africa for a week and just chillin' with the family while my sister and mom will run around like headless chickens trying to get everything just so for the wedding on the 18th. And it might not stop there. Because when we get back there's another race that awaits me on the 26th of October, but I'm still thinking about that one and thinking that maybe I should not be doing that one.
I'm looking at a marathon in December (the 14th, but I'm still thinking about this one a little) and a few Santa runs and then I'll think about 2009.
For now its just me and my crazy month coming up.
Testing Testing
These are my new shoes. I felt the need to get them after my Pegasus made *POOF* and decided to huff and puff almost as much as I did on the last run I took in them....
