I won't mind hanging out at the back of the bus. The funny thing is that the pain is only when I cough or sneeze, when I sit up in the waterbed, or for the first 3 or 4 miles when I run. It's been going on since I got the sinus infection after Labor Day. I've got some prescription Ibuprofen to take during the marathon if it acts up.

I throw out pace obsession and replace it with heart rate obsession. It's worked for me for the Minnie 15k, the DL Half, the RFTT 10k and for the TOT 13k. It didn't work for me during the 2007 MCM because I ignored my "plan" and started at what seemed to be a comfortable pace. I was above my planned heart rate and it caught up to me at about 15 miles. I still PR'd, but I think I would have had a better time by sticking below anerobic threshold until the 20 mile point and then running negative splits. Anyway, this time I plan on sticking to my planed heart rate targets.

I actually hate taking the time off from running - especially the mid-week runs. It's really wrecked my schedule.
Sara
The injury hasn't really been a struggle since it isn't constant. But, I would really like to get past it since it was really making me feel like a cripple, especially during the first 100 yards when I started running. Luckily it is not affecting everyday activities.

Tough call about whether to change shoes this close to a marathon. Last year for MCM I ran in an "out of the box" pair - but they were a brand and model I was familiar with, I just bought them a half size larger because I kept getting blisters on the ends of my toes. I've got a new pair of the same shoes that will be "out of the box" for Philly since I won't be getting very many miles in before the race.

Good luck with working out the PF. I've been having a little "tightness" in my right heel when I start moving. It usually quickly goes away.
Is your night running in town or in the suburbs? I usually wear a blinking red led light in front since I run in the neighborhood roads facing traffic. Plus, it helps make me more visible when people are backing out of their driveways. Be safe out there.

Don't count out the possibility of an Alien implant place during an abduction and examination. Tracy has been watching these shows........

I had a 1 hour wait in line to vote this morning. Other people in the office said they had less than a half hour.
Nice costumes. Butch makes a good Mr. Potato Head. It was good seeing you guys again at TOT. I need to get a longer head start on Butch - he always blows past me about 3/4's through the race.
Happy training to all,

I'm pretty sure this is why we train on TMs that are next to each other- that way he can go way faster than me and I still feel like I am keeping up.
So have you run yet or what?
& for some reason my mom thought we should just keep the date & do in anyway 
. Kind of a big waste of time, but don't tell anyone 
.
.
Is your headache gone or what? Have you been able to run? Details, details about DD's adventure!!
. I don't like this.
The worst part is I've ran this race for the past few years and I hate it
If I didn't sign up I could see another weekend of blowing off a LR and that can't happen
. 
I hope everyone's having a great week
but it's my understanding that ibuprofen reduces inflammation which aids healing. However, NO ibuprofen before a marathon - TYLENOL. WDW Marathon programs specifically outlines why this is if you want to check it out but you need to avoid ibuprofen 48 hours pre-marathon and then it's safe post-marathon for reducing inflammation and pain relief. Tylenol 8 hour or Aleve are okay to dose up on before you run
it looks far from our hotel & that we'd have to cross major highways to get there?
...any takers, Kathy?
OUCH! Glad all your teeth are still present & accounted for!
