Good job!

michelem, go to Fleet Feet and get evaluated & fitted for shoes. Shoes are very individual...and if Fleet Feet has its same policy, you can return the shoes within 30 days for exchange even if you've worn them. Can't beat it. And they are great folks. I used to frequent the one on J Street (I think that's where it is) in Sacramento. There's one in Davis, one in Carmichael (or thereabouts...) and I'm sure several in the bay area. Big thumbs up.

Leseeeee....I did another long run this morning (which I'm hoping will be defined as a "midrange" run here in a couple of weeks) up in the Wasatch Mountains...same loop I did weekend before last (with 4000' of climbing), less Achilles-attachment-to-calf pain but still some. My Achilles-calf problems seem to diminish or disappear if I don't ride the two days before I do a run with big climbing and if I do a recovery run the day following the big run. So I think I'll do an easy run tomorrow before I go up to Park City to cheer Shiraz on in her half mary and then I have another long-ish run/walk planned with a friend for Sunday.

I've been asked to pace a gentleman for the Wasatch Front 100 weekend after next. I was flattered that someone thought I would be a good pacer. Sounds like I'll probably do about a 12-mile leg in the middle of the night and maybe another shorter leg if he needs more people. I think it will be an interesting experience!

Run on!
