I've been diagnosed with the same issue. How long did it last, and how long did you have to tape your toe for? Thanks a lot, I've been injured for a few weeks and it's good to find somebody who has had experience with that injury.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Minnesota RunnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910834114247290288.post-69404651974350998192008-08-25T21:10:00.000-07:002008-08-25T21:10:00.000-07:00Thanks, Allison!

God...Thanks, Tony, I appreciate the encouragement! God knows I need it with this one!<BR/><BR/>And, um....thanks, Bob. (?) :)<BR/>Taper well, visualize that mile 80 and how you MAY feel at that point, and visualize working through it. You CAN do it! Looking forward to the postcard.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Deanna. Honestly, you are right...running ultras is such a break from my work and daily grind (which I DO love, by the way) and I always so look forward to the simplicity of just focusing on running and enjoying the moment. Hopefully, the same will happen at the Spartathlon.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Jon. 246 km = 153+ miles. I'll shoot for 253 after I retire. :) <BR/><BR/>Welcome to my blog, Melissa, and thanks so much for your note. It's always so exciting when we start running ultras. It's the coolest thing to take on what seems like we shouldn't be able to do. Congrats on getting started. I wish you all the best of luck on Sept 27th! My race starts on the 26th and I'll still be running when you start, and probably when you finish too. So, I promise I'll send some good mojo your way across the seas for a fun (which defines success) first ultra. Go girl!Lisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211264404643329514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910834114247290288.post-26826593870767380162008-08-19T20:35:00.000-07:002008-08-19T20:35:00.000-07:00This comment might be wierd for you to get, seeing...This comment might be wierd for you to get, seeing as you don't know me, but I look up to you soooo much. I'm a 23 year old female who lives in Mesa, Arizona. I feel like I have some sort of short person bond with you!! I'm 5' nothing and I feel like i want to conquer the world, ultramarathon style!!! I'm doing my first ultra Sept 27!! It's a baby one-50K but I'm REALLY excited. I just wanted to tell you that what you do inspires people you don't even know!
