Today was slightly better run then yesterday, but still was not feeling my best. Got up pretty early but it took me a while to feel like I wanted to even try to run. I did get new shoes yesterday... had to go to two stores to find some asics in my size, they only had the more expensive ones so I was disappointed, but I knew that I had better get some because my heel was really starting to hurt. I'll ice it today also. I ran a longer loop from my house, when I got to about 4 miles my tummy started to bug. I knew there was a park at the bottom of the long hill I was on, when I got there it was locked so I chased the guy on the lawn mower around til he saw me and could unlock the door. He was soooo painfully slow walking back to the restroom, I don't think he felt the urgency I was needing him to feel. When I was about 1/2 a mile from my house there was a runner on the road coming the other direction. At first I thought it was a lady but as they approched I realized it was a guy.... Fabio LOL he looked just like him. He was wearing tight short shorts, tight tank top, almost like a unitard LOL and a long blond pony tail going half way down his back. It was a sight right out of a romance novel... if you are into that look LOL!! Anyway made me laugh to myself a bit.

Sounds sexy. I'll have to get me one of those unitards.

Sorry the lawnmower guy didn't hurry, but good thing he was there at least. That's pretty funny about the Fabio guy. I hope the new shoes work for you and you get feeling better soon.

Sounds like an exciting morning. At least it spiced the run up. Hey Carolyn, maybe Fabio wants to hang out Glamour Girl from your hood. Ha.

Good one, jun. But Glamour Girl (aka Barbie) doesn't run, she just walks, and I haven't seen her in a while.

It's probably getting to hot for Barbie, she will melt LOL

Burt if you get the unitard take a pic... it would be great!

Carolyn, shoes felt pretty good today except for where I got a blister from yesterday.
