I missed seeing every one last Saturday! I took a few days off work for the first time in 1 & 1/2 years!! I took my two brothers ( 15 & 8 yrs.old) to SIX FLAGS over Texas. We went Saturday. I thought about having to run my miles on Sunday, but after walking around Six Flags for 6 hours on Saturday, I decided that would suffice! I went to Six Flags when I was a child... I just didn't remember that the roller coasters would give you WHIPLASH! It rained all day, everyday of my vacation and then the rain followed me home! I need a vacation from my vacation! See you guys this Saturday for half a Marathon!
I AM A MARATHONER (with whiplash!)

11 MILES !!!! 6/2/07
I AM A MARATHONER!!! Can you believe this? Can I believe this? I did an eleven mile run!!!
I wore out my 1st pair of running shoes around three weeks ago. My little toes were sticking out the side of them. The treads were slick and the heel was worn badly. I tried to get just one more week out of them and after our Saturday's run two weeks ago, Mark noticed what bad shape my shoes were in. I went into Fleet Feet immediately. I wear a women's size 12 double A!!! They had to order my shoes. They thought they would be in last week. When they had not come in by last Friday night, I went to every sports store in Jackson looking for a pair. At one Sports store, a saleslady thought I was joking when I asked for my size! Needless to say, I did not find any my size. So.. I bought a pair of men's New Balance running shoes that were long enough but NOT the right width! Oh , did I pay for it! After Saturday's eleven miles... my feet were SCREAMING at me! Today, my ankles hurt terribly. They hurt so bad yesterday that I wanted to chop them off with an axe!!! I went to the store and purchased some Epsom Salt. After soaking, my feet started to forgive me some. With all this said, my suggestion to everyone is to buy two pairs of running shoes. Don't get caught with a worn out pair and not being able to find another correct fitting pair to replace them. "An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of no regret!"
I had so much fun running with Morgan and Shekkera on Saturday!
