Countdown 9 Days


Don't ask me where the other days went. Wait, I'll tell you. I think they went into yesterday's 17.5 hr work day. Please dear friends, don't pity your humble narrator, it doesn't happen often. And, under the current economy and situations that are rapidly unfolding in the world, I am quite pleased to have a job, and come out unharmed one day later. Now, how does this affect one's marathon prep? I'm glad you asked, but first --- I will have the world know that I found a great steal on outdoor hiking/trail shoes. At Fred's Dollar Store, where things are far more than a dollar, but let's not take that out on Fred or the company's current CEO. Let's face it, they had to expand and Fred was dead(he is right?). Anyway, in haste, I proceeded yesterday under a very interesting circumstance to find myself at Fred's so that I might purchase the proper footwear for the day's adventure, only to find that the Dr. Martin sale they were promoting for $40 was not what I was looking for. After a brief bathroom panic, I found a pair of shoes that I would say are "como" any good pair that Teva, North Face, or even Keen have produced. Either they were waterproof or my foot was so soaked that he had gone numb. In either case worked fine because I still have all of those piggies operating just fine today. It is a $20 steal, and I suggest you check it out. And, yes for those of you with mammoth feet, I found a size 13! They even have a killer deal on Christmas trees. As for the marathon update, I need more sleep and more cafe. Chao.
