- Achilles is feeling pretty good. The iontophoresis PT is a little odd but it definitely seems to be helping. They basically put a steroid onto a pad and place the pad on my Achilles. Then they put another pad on my thigh and hook me up to little baby jumper cables. It burns and leaves a little sun burn like mark on both spots but it's worth it. I've been running easy this week and while my mileage isn't where I'd like it to be, I'm just so happy to be back out there.
- I have a little date with the Delaware marathon this Sunday. This will be my 4th marathon and I'm so freaking excited for it. (would have been #5 if the stupid Achilles didn't keep me from NJ a few weeks back...grrr) I'm running with one of my favorite running buddies, Snowflake, and we have one goal and one goal only for this race...HAVE FUN!!! I'll be carrying my camera and foresee a lot of shenanigans during the race. I'm treating this as a training run for the Ultra and we're thinking of a 4:00-4:30 finish. Weather is looking beautiful, sunny and 70's, so it should be a perfect day for a nice run!
Me and Snowflake after running 50 miles!!
- The discount with the Brooks ID program is deadly. I ordered my racing uniform the other day but unfortunately it won't be here in time for Sunday. I also ordered a lot (A LOT) of other stuff from their pro site. And since I wanted new stuff for this weekend, I also ran out and bought stuff from my local running store. Good thing I don't like malls and shopping because I cause enough damage with the running gear.
