18 Miles

This morning I crawled out of bed at 5:30 am and drove over to Trey's house where I met him and Dyron (Freight Train). We are all running the marathon, so we decided to run the long runs together. It was so much easier running with other people. 2 weeks ago when I ran 16 miles I felt like I was being punished by God, but today 18 was a cake walk. My knees obviously ache a bit, but I feel pretty good overall. I guess being able to talk about work and many other things makes it go by quicker. Our final time was 2:59:01. Not bad.

Re: 18 Miles

It's March 7th. It starts downtown, goes over into North Little Rock then back over to the Govenor's mansion, then through hillcrest down to the Arkansas River and finally finshes up at the capitol. I only have 2 more long runs in training, 20 miles and like 14 miles. The rest are around 4 miles each.

RSS feed broken

hi brady,

i just wanted to subscribe to your rss feed when I noticed, that my Feedreader (NetNewsWire) doesn't accept it, because it's not valid

take a look at http://feedvalidator.org/check?url=http://66.139.73.228:8080/conversationswithmyself/rss.xml

apparently, this has been fixed in COREBlog 0.6b. which version are you running?

speaking of running: 18miles, phew! not bad...

Re: 18 Miles

I just upgraded to 0.6b, but the rss feed was just wrong, i didn't change it when I moved over to coreblog. It's now accessable at http://conversationswithmyself.com/rss.xml. Thanks for the debug. I think it will validate now.

Re: 18 Miles

Brady,
What qualities do you look for in a good running shoe? Is one brand better than another?

Re: 18 Miles

Currently I am running in a pair of worn out Adidas that have over 300 miles on them plus my toenails are about 1 cm too long. I am going to buy new shoes soon. I would like to get a pair of Nike Air Zoom's, because they are light weight. Just browse around on NikeTown.com, they have it all broken down: whether you want light weight, cushion, or stability. It really depends on what you need in your workout. For me it is a lighter shoe. My dad for instance always chooses a shoe strictly by its comfort. no matter what the occasion.
