    Thanks, guys. @Stoshew71 aren't fartleks considered speedwork? Or are they ok to work in during your first year of building your aerobic base? I'm super scared of getting any injuries...can you tell?
    :*

    @Wendy1Fl I saw these 2 links and thought about your question.

    Rest day for me but I am here reading along, running vicariously thru you all and laughing hysterically @LoneWolfRunner

    @Elise4270 - Straight to surgery seems extreme. Hopefully you can manage it with alcohol. ;)

    @italysharon - I haven't been to Naples. I love Italy though. We spent 2 months there when my oldest was 1 1/2. Mostly thru the north as we had a flat in Mestre (mainland Venice). We are eyeing Fall 2016 for going again. I am already looking at wine trail half marathons I can do while there.

    I changed my mind about it being "nice weather". It's really chilly now. But that's because I'm not running, locked out of the house, waiting on the back porch for another 10 minutes or so for my wife to come rescue me. Although...she's technically who locked me out. Hmmm...hope she's not trying to tell me something!

    Ouch... :neutral:

    @briebee7 Thanks for all the foot concerns/feedback/well wishes! Its not terribly bothersome. I will hold out on the MRI. I had a steroid shot in that very spot 20+ years ago. Curious. But, I can live with this as is.

    I did find detailed instructions on the alcohol injections.... I seriously could do it myself... Lol! Or let @LoneWolfRunner do it.

    @whatmerunning if your clothes are not on the back porch with you I think you are safe and it was an accident
    @lonewolfrunner you are killing me today
    @7lenny7 welcome - I hope you can put up with us, we are different bunch! I wear the same Brooks and love them! I'm on my 3rd pair
    @honunui love the turtle video. I'm going video in my pool and throw in some pool tools and post it. LOL
    @emmy15rocks I just brought a Garmin Forerunner 15 for me and a 10 for my daughter love them both. For almost 2 years I used mapmyrun only and still do. It's really close to the Garmin I also find myself running more in the middle of the street and not hugging the edges and they match up distance really well.
    @stoshew71 I'll see you on Monday bright and early

    Current total: 156.7 miles
    Remaining: 43.3 miles

    200 mile goal will be shattered this month with mileage ramp up and back-to-back races on Memorial Day.

    @CodeMonkey78 Are you doing both the 5K and 10K? Or is there another race going on after CRR?

    Both the 10k and the 5k.

    I did them both last year, but at least this time it will not be three days after oral surgery!
