My feet are in their best condition in 2 years now. Still slight heel pain, but manageable with a bit of stretching before a run and ice afterwards.
I'm more into trail running now, a bit softer. On Tuesday I went for a 3-4 mile barefoot run in a park near my work during my lunch. I think it was too far for my first barefoot run in years, should have stuck to 1 mile then put on shoes. So my feet were burning some yesterday. All good today, and I intend to do it again.

Slacking in the running area...my running partner has been unavailable for the past two weeks and have only run once! I went out with a huge storm rolling in and got wet (it was actually breezy, cool running weather.) I had to head back in when the lighting was too close tho!

Card, glad to see you back on your feet. I think I will shoot for 3-4 miles one day this week. Not barefoot, tho!
Losty, I have also been slacking. Had a lot of other things going on. there has been some great weather and I am missing a lot of it. Summer does not last forever. Need to get back on track. My eating and sleeping habits are deteriorating a bit too. Also need to get back to working out. All good things to aspire to.
c'mon people! I have never heard of the summer doldrums before. Is anyone out there? Are we all so absorbed in our sitchs that we have completely forgot about running or any other GAL activities?
I have a lot about to happen. Will be meeting with my L this week to strategize for D. Made some progress in figuring out my expenses in advance of the D. Will be meeting with child psychologist to discuss children (more on that in my thread). Most importantly, I will be telling the children . Of course, I am still working full time. I have many excuses right now to feel sorry for myself and to just abandon all DB principles.
So I have a lot going on - as much as anyone else here, I dare say. That is why I NEED to GAL. Now is not the time to abandon our GAL strategies. Now is precisely the time to GAL. I am SURE there are other like me out there right now. I have been by your threads. There is nary a smile to be found. I see a lot of people giving in (without mentioning names). Let's lift each other up. Let's support each other. Let's smile. Why would we give up on our most important asset - ourselves? Force yourself to put those shoes on and get going. This is my challenge - to myself and to you.
I will start you off: I ran 4.5 miles two days ago. I stocked up on protein/energy bars and am back in hydrating mode. I am going to make myself run today, weather permitting. If I don't then I will have to do some weight training.
What are YOU going to do today?
RAI
People! please please respond. If not for yourselves, then for RAI. I need to see it. Grassroots, baby.
Today I am working however Saturday will be going to a 45th high school reunion, not mine just yet, mine will have to wait for 2 years. Still it should be a great time!
Finished my class on Marriage in the Movies given for free on the internet. Watched 11 movies for the class, learned about the Seven marriage problems listed as most realistic to least realistic in the movies.
1) Money 2) Infidelity 3) Inlaws & Children 4) Incompatibility 5) Class distinctions 6) Addictions 7) Murder
and I aced the final, of course it took 3 tries..... but who is counting.
Hope that provides you with some entertainment for today.
OOPS - I guess I was suppose to be running instead!
RAI - you've inspired me. I'm not a runner, but I am hopping on my bike and going to over-do an over-due initial ride as I usually do and then tell everyone how awesome I feel. Going for 16 mi today (that's a lot for me and my old heavy bike).
