Leader of the Pack

Look out, look out, look out, look out! I can't believe it myself, seeing that it wasn't too long ago that I looked for any excuse to avoid the humiliation of field day losership, but I actually won the women's division of the 8 on the 8th challenge. As I noted to race director Nancy, it figures that the only race I'll ever likely win does not have a cash prize. I'm waiting by my mailbox for the laurel wreath.

I did win a new moniker--Queen Speedy--that really only applies in this one context, but I intend to insist that all family members now call me by my royal title and bow to kiss my ring when they enter my presence. And now I shall dismount my high horse and treat myself to an extra rum and coke followed by an evening of nothingness.

Hey Kristina I found you from Nancy's blog congrats on ur 8 on the 8th run...

I also seen your post on your Heel pain...I have had my troubles also and sometimes comes back, also still in pursuit of that perfect running shoe.

anyways wanted to pass on to you a great product that I been using and was recommended by several ultra runners ...it's actually highly recommended and an affordable heel insert.

GO research it out, it will help you practically instantly..it has for me and others that I personal know. One of my friends ran the 135mile Badwater race in July using them the entire race.

the rum and coke was delicious, thank you, and did wonders for my foot pain. since i can't drink away my pain at 9 am (or can I?), I also ordered the heel inserts, so thanks to bob as well!
