weekly check-in

"Our running shoes are really erasers. Every step erases a memory of a past failure. Every mile brings us closer to a clean slate. Each footstrike rubs away a word, a look, or an event that led us to believe that success was beyond our grasp." ~John Bingham

So, how was your week of running? If you're on the east coast of the US, how are you dealing with the heat? If you're in the southern hemisphere, how is the winter treating you? What are you planning for the week ahead?

Way late to the party, but last week actually marked a significant, if slightly crazy, achievement for me.

In an effort to avoid the football (and good thing too since my country's team lost and the fans would have been v. grumpy), I went on a long evening run on Wednesday. A very long one.

21K and a bit, in fact. A half-marathon, and over 7K more than my previous distance record. I was sore the day after, and one of my toenails has gone purple (thankfully without pain), but ell reckons these are the marks of a runner so... apparently I am one.

Congratulations on your long run and your purple toenail! (I had one go purple with pain, so your option sounds much more preferable :) )
