Yesterday I went for a short run with
Molly, “Hog Dog”, after just a short distance I sat down to
remove something sticking me in the side of the foot. It's
happened before, nothing in the shoe, just sleeping nerves waking
up.
A mile later I was impressed with
“phantom” stabbings emulating from my foot. Pollyanna would have
been proud, “Just a nerve waking up Mike, deal with it”. It
seemed a long two and a half miles, so soon after returning home I
jumped to the opportunity to remove the offending shoe. As before,
nothing in the shoe, but as I started to remove my sock from the top
down , peeling it off inside out, there it was, a single sticker
most likely from a Raspberry or Blackberry Bush. UGH!
Still undecided about Steamtown, I ran
a good training run on the C&O Canal on Saturday (Twelve Miles)
and a fun nine mile trail run on Sunday. While running I felt good
but once I stopped it wasn't long before GI issues reared their ugly
head. Fortunately neither experience lasted for more then a couple
hours, but even so.

I will be trying some new foods this
week to see if they might make a difference. This morning it was Irish
Oats, “This stuff will Stick to Your Ribs”, Sue proclaimed as she
placed a bowl in front of me. “Trust Me Sue, Sticking anywhere is the
last thing I want from these”, I replied.
Let's hope Sue is dead wrong.
Mike
