What the heck ever happened to Spring!?   Sheesh.  So today I am watching NBC and it's snowing in Richmond VA !!  Cycling on until 5pm.

We had the windows open and AC off for the night and day down.  Got down into the 50's last night.  And today only 65 or so. 

Budda, I can't say for sure want I would do about the foot thing.  I have experienced that and it SUCKS.  I start out on the run and everything is fine and then whammo my right or left foot goes numb. 

As a matter of fact, I was on a 2hr run the other day and 1:15 into, after 2 stops to re-adjust my laces and the sock on my left foot, I just decided to run sockless.  Felt weird but I didn't get any blisters.  I have been running in the same shoe for the past year.

I love this particular brand and model so much I have 4 of them.  1 re-tired, 1 i am using now and 2 new ones on the shelf.  I bought so many after the first one cause I knew theat when it came time to replace the shoe, that it would be discontinued and hard to find.

I would try a few things. One at a time.  1) Lace the shoes as lose and you feel comfortable with.  The feet swell throughout the day and more so when running. 2) Try new socks.  3) Try easy laces.  The elastic ones that you just cinch down and forget.  Those tend to hold a more even pressure throughout the whole lace of the shoe.

First and foremost ask a professional and real running shoe store that you know knows what they are talking about.

THe wifey gave me clearance to do the race also. I'll sign up soon.

Not sure how you feel about it or what everyone else says about it but have you tried to take a dietary supplement. I know I am not where you are but I was stuck for about a month and not able to lose any weight. I tried a product called Xenadrine EFX. Suppose to help increase the body's metabolic rate whaich should help lose some LBS. You take a simple multi vitamin with it. If you are getting frustrated give it a try. I have not notices any physical changes with my body other than weight loss.

I'm in for the Firecracker. Just signed up today. Need to look for a hotel, host hotel only has suites left.

Hey Kim how is the town of Stevensville. It is only 6 miles from the park and the Baymont look nice, new, clean. Thanks.

Thanks for the info on the hotel.

I was thinking about doing it but it doesn't fit my schedule. We are on vacation and I have a race planned that weekend. I will think about it for next year.

Budda,

Really hope you get that foot thing worked out.  Going numb sucks. 

I (sniff sniff) smell race season!

My first tri of the season above.  A weird race distance I wasn't aware of. Sort of between an Oly and a HIM.  It's a 2k swim/37 bike/15k run.  We'll see if all this base training and a littel speed work has paid off.  PR'd my 10k time today.  55mins.  Felt good.
