So, just got back from my first ever pedicure complete with foot and calf massage. In the future this is going to be mandatory before big races. Wow, feels like I have new feet. Can't wait to run tomorrow. Need to learn some basic Vietnamese though. They were all looking at my smushed toenails. :)

Switched to the New Balance Fresh Foam Boracay today for a hilly 3-miler. Impressed. Real nice on the bad heel.

I wasn't that impressed with those. Comfort was pretty goo, but I'd be real concerned about the longevity. The soles didn't stand up at all on the TM, just left piles of black dust. The wear on the soles after 50 miles looked like mine normally do after 500. Hopefully that was fixed in the production model. (I beat on a demo pair for 6-7 weeks)

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on them and report. I only have 7 miles so far. 4 miles this morning felt pretty good on the feet. Had to put the Goofys back in the box. Something wrong with the right shoe.

Quick 2.5 mi shakeout run this morning around my parents neighborhood. It was 36 degrees and I Loved it (with a capital L). Wearing shorts and a long sleeve and it was perfection. Won't be that cold tomorrow for the start of the half unfortunately but I suppose I shouldn't expect such perfect conditions at the end of May. Heading to the expo after breakfast and carb loading on some of the new local beers, and hoping to find the Mile 27 Pilsner which is brewed just for the marathon weekend!
Have a great Memorial Day everyone!

Easy 3-miler this morning to keep loose for Monday's 10K. Stretched the right calf a bit then started out with a terrible sharp pain up my ankle. Thought I was going to have to turn around. But it worked itself out and had a nice run. Feel fine right now. Just had to loosen it up.

Chick-fil-A series 10K this morning. Very hilly and surprised I was even able to break an hour. Finished second in my age group. A few of the hills had me almost beaten but the final mile was very strong. Next 10K in the series is flat.

Sat got to the gym, realized I had my cross training minimal shoes, so only did 1mi, .25@8, .5@7, .25@6, then some bike time. Sun did a 5k, knocked 1 min off my time from last week, so I was back down to a 21:06, still need to peel another 45 seconds or so off that to get me back to where I had been to then start pushing for that sub 20 again. Mon was 5@2i@8p followed by a 5k on the bike. Today was bike work. Damn I really need to work on my stretching/flexibility, I'm way too tense/stiff again.

Everyone was still asleep when I got up Saturday morning so I decided not to listen to any of their unspoken warnings, and I ran 6 miles. I was so pleased with myself. No pain then or since. My Garmin battery died half way through so I have no idea what my pace was, which was probably a good thing at the time because I just took it easy. I still get nervous about not knowing my limitations with RA, but it was a great run. The last thing I want to do is cause another flare, but all I can do is hope for the best.

They do give out age group medals but I didn't stay. I was hungry and my foot hurt. :)

Congrats on your pain-free 6-miler! Work on that pace later.

@lukacseven I did the Wildwood Half that weekend. I guess I finished too slow because there was no Coke left at the end (or I missed it). I definitely loved the goody bag with the cookies, Pretzels and Johnson Bros. popcorn! We will definitely be doing that one again. I gave our wristbands for rides to a family on the boardwalk since it was kind of rainy when we finished and we just wanted to get home.
