    Just jumping it say thanks to you all....I am honored and humbled and overwhelmed with your support. Remember, the offer is still open to any who want to be here in person for the Aim at Melanoma run/walk to camp out on my 2acre lawn (with ocean view.....), and barbeque/party to follow after the run!

    Also, my prayers and hugs to all impacted by Harvey and looming Irma...

    ha ha how funny (and awesome) would it be if 200 of us showed up on your lawn :smile:

    Let's do it!!!!

    Just been watching footage of the Everest Marathon. Needless to say, the Nepalese pretty much have it in the bag with their genetically adapted lungs.

    I don't think anyone could really argue with me if I said it looks like the most stunning trail run in the world.

    9/1 - Rest day
    9/2 - 13.18 miles. Very slow, mostly walking. Really struggled with low BG throughout entire run. Depleted electrolytes and had cramping towards end and afterwards.
    9/3 - Rest
    9/4 - Cross train - hiked 10 miles.
    9/5 - Unplanned rest day - seems like I might have sprained left ankle.
    9/6 - 6.34 miles (plan was for 8, but trying to be easy on ankle ahead of HM on 9/9)

    Upcoming Races:

    If you're a night runner in the northern part of the northern hemisphere, keep an eye to the sky. Great chance of seeing Aurora Borealis tonight, Thursday, and Friday nights

    That must be why we are having an unpredicted thunderstorm here.

    @MobyCarp Man, I can not imagine how much faster I would have to go to BQ. I have to shave nearly an hour of my current PR. I do not see that happening! But if you run Pittsburgh, make sure you say hi before the race. I will be back with the 4 hour pacer. :)

    @7lenny7 I thank you so very much for the info... I got all excited, and then remembered everything to the west of me is on fire, and you can't hardly see town, much less the sky... booo... but I may still go looking this weekend anyways...

    My non running update. With trial runs last week, and vacation, and hiking, I was feeling optimistic. Running wasn't terrible, walking was not causing much ankle popping, swelling had stayed down,both with and without the brace. Then physical therapy happened yesterday.... and not only have I been gimpy enough since, that it was noticeable to others, but the swelling was significant enough to be very obvious while wearing the brace. Grrrr.

    So smoky here. :'(

    Today's run : 3.5
    Sept. Total: 9.5
    Sept. Goal: 40 miles

    I think I am on track. I keep wanting to add a day, but I am going to continue running every other day. I added .5 miles tonight, but I will pull back to 3 for the rest of this week. I am really trying to remain injury free.
