I'm really hoping tomorrow will be your day.<br /><br />And sorry to hear about the marital tensions. I'm fortunate to have a husband who is as crazy as I am when it comes to running (and we don't have kids). As for the blisters, I somehow managed to get the start of one where I've never before; WTF? Shows you never know what can happen.<br /><br />- EatDrinkRunWomanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855134674264531625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086127511886383594.post-42996177711804462132009-05-15T12:09:00.000-04:002009-05-15T12:09:00.000-04:00The episode with your DW is phase I went through a...The episode with your DW is phase I went through a year or so ago, but we got through it. Her attitude appears similiar to my DW. She'll never get it, which is OK. <br /><br />I've learned to never mention running to her, except for when the next race is, and I mention that as far in advance as I can. I figure she'll let me know if she wants to go. <br /><br />A new chapter of our lives will open soon, when the kids (mine are 7 and 4.5 y/o) are old enough to travel with us themselves, if the want!<br /><br />Cheers!JesusFreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838120407040607003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086127511886383594.post-26953334048613985992009-05-13T13:15:00.000-04:002009-05-13T13:15:00.000-04:00Tried to leave a good luck message on RWOL, but it...Tried to leave a good luck message on RWOL, but it kept getting spit back.<br />Anyway, your training has all but taken luck out of the equation for your BQ.<br />Enjoy it.

I also feel for you on the date blowup, I don't even have kids but sometimes my man can't deal with my focus for the sport, which I can't blame him for, I wasn't a runner when we met so my freakdom is relatively new. Also, when your dates are few and far between it does put added pressure to have a good time (alas, I have experience at this, too). I hope peace is in the midst of being restored for you as I write this. <br /><br />I'm sure I'll find a forum thread to wish you luck in before the weekend, but GOOD LUCK!! Not that you need any, you've put in the work and you're on way to kicking some marathon ass!

Come Sunday, hopefully all of the early week issues will become an afterthought and we'll all be celebrating your BQ next Sunday or Monday. <br /><br />Have you been to weather.com lately?<br /><br />Best of luck!screaminzabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519702001471982826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086127511886383594.post-21289372383865596422009-05-11T12:16:00.000-04:002009-05-11T12:16:00.000-04:00Ugh, sorry to hear about the crappy weekend.

Hope everything resolves itself. <br /><br />Secondly, about the blisters...holy shit! All 5 blistered on a 12 mile run? That's horrendous. And a week before Sugarloaf no less. It sounds like you can maybe use Wednesday's 6-7 miles as your next 'dress rehearsal' to test out a new sock. Just don't forget the BodyGlide this time. Have you looked into Injinjis?<br /><br />Anyway, hoping that all the stars align for you on race day. You've got in so much quality training man. Figure everything out, let loose on Sunday and leave it all out there.

It's such a delicate balance to strike between family, work & marathoning. I have fully embraced running at 4:30am to minimize impact on the family, but it still comes down to the amount of time you spend with this "other" activity outside the family that seems to fuel the fire. Know that the other running nutjobs out there understand, I hope things smooth out for you.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the feet - I am a big Balega guy, though I cycle through a ton of brands and have never had trouble with blisters and have never lost a toenail. I buy my shoes plenty big though. I have, however, lost two glass top patio tables in the last 12 months to wind and have had my stainless steel grill knocked over twice, so I can sympathize with you there.Progman2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/04084535988452978656noreply@blogger.com
