RnR, I hate it when a pair of shoes just doesn't work out. I usually turn them into garden shoes. I have many pairs of garden shoes

I have not run a step since the 12 hour in mid-October. I have a wee problem that I decided I would just let mellow by taking a break from running. I just started doing some longer (30-minute) walks this week and once I can do these without pain then I will start to run/walk again. It's ski season so once we have a consistent base for skating, I suspect that will take up the bulk of my exercise time. I also got some new backcountry ski gear this year (Merry Christmas to me!) and hope to try out SkiMo. Lots to keep me occupied.

I did sign up for one race next year (in June) but that might be it. I am considering some big life changes and might not have the time and energy to train like normal. Still working through it all.
