My 8 Year-Old Daughter Actually Packs a First Aid Kit and It Came in Handy! TA-DA!--------------------------Rediscovered Recently and Used Everywhere, but Eternally Brilliant Nonetheless (I saved it for a rainy day such as today):"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

WrightSocks, Duncan, ankle-height (not shoe height). They're $6 a pair but worth it. And hey, what gives with that shoe? That's a Racer ST, not a T4; I thought you ran marathons in T4s. My illusions are shattered. (BTW, have you seen this year's ST? Fluorescent yellow. I had people shouting, "Go, guy with the yellow shoes!" at me for 26 miles at the Flying Pig. I'd have been better off to have my name on my shirt.)
Is that the ST-Racer? I thought you were a T-4 guy. I'm certain you gave it your absolute best, which is what is what both you and the distance demand and deserve. I'm truly impressed by the work you put in, and I'm certain that it will pay dividends down the line come the next one this fall. No reason to cast your eyes downward, you toed the line and went to battle. Color me impressed.

I've had that problem, but it was in a 5K and all I got was a small raw area. That must really hurt.

Make sure to change the dressing on the stump at least twice a day.
That is a great caveman picture, though.
