Speaking of pain, the hot, humid weather is back in Kansas and my runs are pretty darn miserable because of it. When I’m running up the last, long hill, I have a little mantra that keeps me going:
- Here’s the houses that’s for sale – three more blocks (to the top of the hill)
- OK here’s the pool house – two more blocks, I can do it
- Now the Marine’s house, can’t stop here because oh the shame
- Whew, made it!
The one house that was for sale the last time I did a post like this, the one listed for $1.5million, is no longer on the market. I have no idea if it sold or not but the one next to it is now available.
One of the reasons I run so early in the morning is because I prefer to run in the dark, with less traffic and no glare from the sun. Ironically, I run faster in the dark and am more aware of the potential tripping hazards due to cracks in the sidewalk. If I ever do take a tumble, I can guarantee you it will be because I ran during the day or some driver had their lights on high beam and blinded me so I tripped.

Elizabeth, Something you might want to consider for your shoes is an insert that works for exercise and adds some filler for your shoes. I have found one by DRX that helps with comfort and filling the shoe. They work in all kinds of shoes, including athletic. As you know, I have narrow feet, as well as not much cushion there. These DRX work really well.
Lesa, great suggestion. I was hesitant to buy anything like the Dr. Scholl's inserts because they seem to be too all purpose. I'll check the DRX out.
