Something is wrong with one of my toenails. It's a funny color and it hurts when I press on it. I've heard of runners whose toenails turn black & fall off. In a sick, twisted sort of way, I was kind of excited when my toenail started looking weird. If my toenail turns black then I can call myself a real runner!! whoo hoo!
Actually, I am not running near enough miles for that to happen. And it would be darn painful and probably make running kinda difficult, just a guess...
I did run 7 miles Sunday and it was AWESOME. In a painful, gut renching, air sucking, energy draining, goodlordpleasehelpme kind of way. ha ha! Truthfully, it was a little hard. But I fought through it. A little humid, and definitely warmish, so I stopped a couple of times for a drink. But I compared my time to the 7 miles I ran training for the last 1/2 marathon and I shaved off 1 minute. Not too shabby, consider I ran that first one straight through with no stops.
Watched the Olympic Men's Marathon Saturday night which got me fired up for my Sunday run. Those guys ran the marathon twice as fast as me, for twice the distance. Wowser! While we were watching, I said my goal for the next half would be however long it took them to run the full, but then they ran it in 2:06 something, and I don't think I can pull that off!! Maybe 2:15?? We'll soon see... Stay tuned.
