Thanks for all the kind words and advice.


I am going on a trip and was wondering whether I should take my running shoes. Guess what I decided.
Naw... screw that... rest and have fun! HA!

Just as an aside, have you had your shoes checked out by a reputable store?
Done. I bought shoes for my pronation back in October 2006. I currently have a new pair on order as well. And I was checked and fitted by a running store. And it did fix my problem for about a week.

Remember the triumph of that.
HA... I remember THAT run. It was my first triathlon, and I had this horrible side cramp the whole way. I walked some... was hunched over... pinching my side (as I did in both tri's last year). I made sure though that I could RUN when people could see me, and made it very "dramatic" when I crossed the finish line. *Smile*


Ok, I haven't gone yet... but I did have nightmares about it all last night.
