I couldn't run today.  My back was hurting last 2 days.  That is better now but looks like I pulled something in the groin.  Anyway, just walked 4 miles.  That too after 3 days of rest.

Horrible.  100k is in 5 days. Hope I make it.  Anyways, stayed up all night reading "Born to Run".  Very interesting book. So I decided to run/walk barefoot today.  Well couldn't really run so mostly walked but the treadmill gets pretty warm.  Don't notice with shoes but it is warm enough to melt the tread slightly and by end of the hour my feet had black sticky stuff.

I also didn't feel that running barefoot was reducing the pounding or lessening the probability of getting plantar fasciitis but I did enjoy the walk barefoot.

Anyways, for the 100k I am using open-toed sandals with a pair of Crocs as backup.  The crocs are ugly and are not open toed but seem comfortable so far.  Will see how they turn out.

Did the one day hike from Georgtown, Washington DC to Bolivar Community center, Harpers Ferry, WV.  Walked most of the way through Maryland.

I was wearing open toed sandals.  Bad idea.  By the first few miles I was bleeding.

I ignored it and continued till mile 12 where I got a tape from the volunteers.  It helped stop the bleeding and I got to mile 23 where the medics put on second skin and tape which came off within a mile or two.  I limped along till mile 55 and didn't make the cutoff by 30 minutes.

I was supposed to leave mile 55 by 9:34 pm but got there at 9:58 pm so I was pulled off course.  A good thing too because I wouldn't have been able to do the last 7.2 miles anyway.

19 hrs on the trail.  Started at 3 am saturday.  finished at 10 pm. Didn't get any sleep friday night :(

Heat was upto 90 degrees.  Lots of mosquito bites.  Needed headlamp the last 2 hrs.  Almost stepped on a snake.  No one in front of me or behind me for hours at a time.  It didn't feel like a race, just a long lonely nature walk.

Well, next year I am finishing this puppy.
