Thanks, man. It was a HM, 2:37:30 for my first one (ya know, molasses uphill in January), training or otherwise. Oddly, I haven't yet thought of it as my ONLY one--there are three more around here this fall (might do one of them), and I can't let that time stand. I think I need some help

Ha ha. Don't worry man, anyone that keeps moving for that long ain't no baby. Glad to hear you got the HM bug.

Ha! I'm so gulible. I'm downloading the clip thinking, "how the hell did someone record him running?"
Dave -- Nice work on getting to a half-marathon only weeks back from an injury! |

Thanks, guys! I feel pretty good the day after as well. I'm enjoying running, but I'm not sure I like the feel of the orthotics - very hard and rubbery. Doesn't feel very "natural" I guess.

FWIW, had my follow-up with the doctor today. After going over the past couple weeks, I'm clear to run as long as I don't have any pain or discomfort in the leg. If I'm not mistaken, I have about 25 miles to get in over the next two weeks. Y'all just wait until next month
