One was a 20KM trail called Run Forest Run. I was the last runner, it was also snowy and icy, I had the wrong socks (but had trail shoes on TG) on and after 7km had a huge blister on my foot. Trail marking was not great and I got a bit lost about halfway. If it hadn't been for Ron and our friend Vincent who had finished but were worried about it and came back, I'm not sure I'd have finished when I did. And because I was last there wasn't even a g.d. cup of tea left over for me. The second one was Athens Authentic marathon, because of back pain, the stupid neuroma in my foot and elevation. Both I'll likely never run again haha! <br /><br />Glad you got your vaccine and the all clear for your mammogram/ultrasound!

I am so inspired by you.<br /><br />The whole week was crap and weird. I'm sorry SJ got on your nerves. I think everyone is just out of their minds right now. I am still in such shock over what happened, and really feel so very isolated and alone in my beliefs. I feel like I have lost or been distanced from so many friend, first from my injury and then from the politics.

My hardest race was the JFK 50-Miler because my IT band flared up about half way into the race. The first 17 miles are on the Appalachian Trail and the switchbacks coming off of it didn't help. I finished, though, and with a halfway decent time.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-89922741040735340972021-01-10T15:54:17.375-06:002021-01-10T15:54:17.375-06:00Congrats on your trail race!

Our 'experts' here are not straying from the plan to get everyone 2 vaccines as recommended by the manufacturer. It remains to be seen which will be the best plan.

Parents-in-law were both due to have their first ones yesterday so fingers crossed. <br /><br />And yes on being "political", I tell people they are not allowed to complain about stuff if they don't vote.

It's great that you ran into someone to help guide you through the course. I just love when runners are super friendly like that!<br /><br />So happy to hear that you received the second dose of the vaccine. It must feel like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. In CT there anticipate that the vaccine will be available to the "general public" this summer so I'm patiently waiting :)KookyRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687318401455266836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-81830149449925993822021-01-10T12:48:47.888-06:002021-01-10T12:48:47.888-06:00I tried to keep it short but I feel like not sayin...I tried to keep it short but I feel like not saying anything makes me complicit.
