Almost forgot! my favorite part of the race was after it was over and I saw my daughter and her kids (also on the Esko running team), my grandson Ashtun saw me and yelled Bama and tried his best to get out of the strap that held him in the jogging stroller. :)
The boy wanted his Bama! Gotta love that!
Great job Christina!

Anyone interested in buying my spot for Color Me Rad on 7/20, Mason Ohio, the 8:20 wave? $40.00. I mistakenly double booked myself for 2 races that day at the same time. :(

Hubby and I walked to Subway for dinner then finished with a walk around the neighborhood. Trying to get some more miles on these insoles! Can't wait to see the foot lady tomorrow!
Dinner sounds good! Oh tomorrow probably can't get here soon enough for you.....Hopefully the news you want to hear!

Doc made some small adjustments. Said she didn't want to change anything too drastic for fear of injury or my body not adapting to a sudden change. Another week of running on them and then I report back how things are feeling. I like this "adjust, test, tweak, test again" approach.
Excellent job!

Woke up this morning feeling amazing! My quads were a little stiff, but not sore at all. And the stiffness was no more than it would have been from doing lunges from the Kettlebell DVD.

I'm so glad you came out of the weekend's challenging half feeling so good! You're awesome! Your incremental fitting of the orthotics also sounds great - I sure hope she can find a way to stop the pain. BTW, I probably will not be at U&R tomorrow...although if the weather is good I might change my mind.
