    Thanks, Oak. Unfortunately chiropractors scare me after a coworker of mine needed back surgery following a severe mishap with one.

    I ran 21 miles yesterday and it went fairly well. I experimented with my nutrition so I wouldn't bonk like last week. I took in a total of 800 calories over 5 hours and even though I felt like I was eating the whole time, it paid off. I was still feeling pretty good at 20 miles--so good that my training partner and I were singing and dancing like Rocky with our hands in the air when we hit 20 miles. Two hours later I crashed and I'm still pretty sore but I'm really proud of my accomplishment. It was a confidence builder and as long as I don't injure myself, I shouldn't have any problem finishing the marathon. Next week is the St. Jude half marathon so I'm going to rest and take it easy this week and try to heal these legs!
