Yowza. We did six miles yesterday, and I discovered Wigwam Ironman Flash Pro sox are not for me. The first 4.5 miles were fine, but towards the end, I could tell I'd slowed down. Ouch, ouch, ouch. I've discovered my Achilles tendons.

We had brunch waiting for us when we got back to the park, melons, strawberries, veggies, pretzels, yogurt, cheese. Then we had a presentation on nutrition, and a taste test of some energy drinks and bars. Yup, still hate cytomax and clif shot blocks. Jury is still out on Nuun - I like the idea of no sugar. The flavor they had for tasting was iffy -- Berry something. Clif Shot Cran-Razz electrolyte drink is still my favorite. It wasn't represented, I told a couple of my team mates I'd bring some next week for them to try.

Today my achillies tendons are still sore, along with one shin. Ratz. I'm icing right now; I may make an appointment with the foot doc that spoke to us last Wednesday for an evaluation.

I've turned in all my paperwork for Nike - I'm really excited to be doing this. Even better - I discovered the day after the 1/2 marathon, Patti Smith is playing at the Warfield -- so I'm staying in SF for a couple of extra days so I can see her.
