Pam has added me to the “nut bag” blog

I must say that I am trying to take this training plan a month at a time.  That being said, I need to constantly remind myself that the real training plan does not start until the first of the year.  Having just taken 5 weeks off of running due to foot pain, which the source of is still not determined, I find myself trying not to panic.  I have found (unfortunately in the Door County Half Ironman) that my biggest Achilles heel is my weak mind on a long run.  Have I mentioned I am a self proclaimed sprinter??  When people in the running club called me a sprinter because I preferred to run 5K’s I laughed out loud.  People……  800 meters is distance from where I come.

So… with my longest run in about 2 and 1/2 months this morning (10 miles) causing me both physical pain (feet, argh!!) and mental pain, I will be searching for as many tidbits as I can.  Plus, a great group to run with who will put up with me.  Any takers????
