Jeff: Ooouuu, ooouuuu, I vote for WDW. It's bigger and has more job opportunities and variety!! Plus WDW has a Half and a Full Marathon!! Huh? Huh?

No state taxes there right? Only federal and county?

Jeff: Just Federal Taxes in FL like everyone else and sales tax, but that varies depending on what county and city you live in. (Like WDW has about a 12%bed tax added on to your tab)

Hello athletes!

I ran after work and had a rough time of it, shin splints probably caused by not stretching properly before my run. I paid the price and had to stop multiple times to stretch. My results:

Miles: 4.0
Time: 35:30
Pace: 8:52

Splits: 8:15, 9:17, 9:01, 8:54

I felt better by mile 3 but at the end of two, I felt worse than I did post Philadelphia Distance Run two weeks ago. I guess I learned a cheap lesson - take more time to stretch before any run, no matter the duration.
I am running a 15K on Sunday (Delaware Distance Classic) morning. I'll post results.

Have a great weekend!

Howard What do you do to stretch out your shins? I would love to find something effective for my shins and ankles because they do fatigue/feel tight sometimes when I run.

Rest day for me--just a long dog walk and a drive to see my son's XC meet.

Ok, while I'm waiting for a break in the rain here are two shin stretches that I do.
Standing SHin stretch:

I also will use my foam roller to kneed out my shins - racewalkers are always dealing with sore shins!!

20 miles for me today. First 16 were good, last four were walking. Not enough sleep last night. Fuel shortage as well, so I stopped at the gas station to pick something up.

Off to ice bath, then Girl Scouts meeting.
