checking in, November 2

[ilanarama]

It's still November 1 for me, but it's Monday already in Europe (not to mention the Antipodes) and since I'm in a relatively late time zone, I figured I'd put this here and you all can check in and give each other encouragement until I get up tomorrow morning.

So, how goes your training? What are your current goals? If you're in the northern hemisphere, how are you dealing with winter weather?

cyphomandra, how did you do in your half marathon last week?

Well, I guess blnchflr isn't online, and the rest of you aren't awake!

I am running a little less than I wanted right now because I seem to have tweaked my left calf. From directly above the heel to about midway up the calf hurts a lot! I'm nervous about running because I have a marathon in 2 weeks and it's more important to not be injured than it is to train for the last 2 weeks.

I watched the NY Marathon online and was inspired - I might run it next year.

The weather here is good, but I am going to the hardware store today to buy some screws to make screw shoes out of my oldest pair.

If you were posting at 8 pm your time, I'd have been in bed :oP

(And I just realized that DW timestamps on comments are in the logged-in viewer's local time. That's very nifty.)

I look forward to hearing about your experience with screw shoes - I'd be very worried about the ½" screws going through O_o

Yeah, but I figured you'd comment sometime while I was still in bed!

I'm thinking of using the 3/8 screws. I'm also kind of nervous about the big ones.

I am also interested in hearing about your experience with the screw shoes!
