October Recap & Marathon Pictures

• Total for the month: 114 miles
• Average Pace – 11:01
• Total for the Year – 772 miles

My goal was to run 1010 miles in 2010. I need to run 238 miles from now until December 31st. That’s an average of approx 29 miles a week. I barely ran that many miles a week when I was marathon training. Chances of me hitting 1010 are slim but I’m up for the challenge.

I wanted to take a minute to thank each and every one of you for your support and advice. I don’t think I could have gotten through the training & marathon without it. I’ve been a flaky person the past 2 months. My life and thoughts have been consumed with the marathon. I even forgot to buy my daughters birthday present and had to run out to the store the day before we left! I am looking forward to getting back to normal (whatever that is).

My left foot is still giving me grief. The pain is localized to the ball of my foot. There is a red bruise – look! Figure if we can talk about poop you won’t mind pictures of the bottom of my foot.

I made an appointment with a Podiatrist for Monday. Hopefully its nothing too serious. My legs feel GREAT and I am itching to go for a run (an easy one). Any thoughts about my foot?

I’m not sure if I mentioned this before but I love race photographers and I search for them when running. I like to get as many pictures taken of me and I make a point to pose for the paparazzi. With that being said there are a bunch of great pictures from the marathon and I cant decide if I should purchase them. To get all of the digital pictures it will cost me $84.95 – ouch!  Thoughts? Did you buy pictures from your first marathon?

It’s PICTURE TIIIIIME
