You deserve those free shoes, I hope you can get them!  Rest and recovery now until jfk.  I hope your knee feels better very soon. 
And congrats on another great marathon, it is amazing that you keep on doing them!!  How many is that now? 

Thanks!  Yes I am not sure if this is something I can just push through with JFK.  But, there are 3 weeks and I bet this will drop as an issue.  In fact I am supposed to run the Appalachian Trail piece again this weekend if you want to come along.  Roger and some of his family are running as well.  Obviously I will only do this if healed.

I need to remember the ice!  Keep forgetting.  The IBU makes the pain go away and I forget.

That was my 34th marathon.

LOL!  AWESOME!!  You won't regret it.

I put a brace on it and that seemed to help.  Still taking IBU, we will see.  Going to take it easy.

Hi,

Can't say I am "feeling good" but the run was pretty uneventful, and we got through without getting hurt, which seems not such a given out there sometimes!  I'm not really worried about the 50 miler.  You can only do so much, and I've done it.

Yikes, our new friend, Linda, Terps421, just qualified for Boston!!!

Sure did take her a while to tell us.  Oops, she didn't did she.

You type in the text that you want to link, then highlight the text.  Above our text box is a little chain link you click on to make the text a link. Then you paste the URL in the top line and it's done.  I had trouble with it too at first but once you realize it, it's pretty easy.

Aren't they nearing sellout, or already exceeded?  Are you signed up already?

Excellent.

I don't care what time I finish JFK.  At one point I thought 10-10.5 hours but my knee is an issue and I could end up not finishing at all.  I start at 7am.  You can submit a waiver to start at 5am but we are too fast for them to approve us.  We have til 7pm to finish.  Originally Roger and I were going to run the first X miles together but we are finding that I am much more adventurous and willing to risk it on the rocks of the trail.  Thus I think I will be way ahead of him, and on the C&O he could come up and pass me.  We were hoping to have supporters out there so we could change clothes and shoes, and well as some food stuff but all those who expressed interest have fallen to the wayside.  We may be on our own.  We'll see.  This week is the week to solidify those who bluffed their interest.

Thanks for the link!  Wow, those two runners featured so far do not have much of a training program.  The one guy's big race was a half marathon last month?

If they like accident stories, they'd probably like my "run over by a truck" story but it is too late for that.

Looks like I am #339.  Roger, the one who said "go Linda!" at the Baltimore Marathon, is #337.

Yes my impression of the JFK50 is that it is laid back as well.  The goal for everyone is not to crush a PR, but to help each other finish.

My ability to finish is solely on the knee.  I am planning on wearing a Cho Pat brace in the hopes that it can keep my kneecap tracking correctly.  Otherwise I am dead meat.  I am going to really do nothing knee-related this week.  Even the elliptical, and a hike, bothered it.
