I have a bag of frozen green beans on my knee. Traditionally, peas are used in my family for injuries but Shobi prefers peas to green beans, so we have more green beans around. My knee just started to click at around the 11 mile mark and by the time we were almost done with the run, I was limping. My coach assures me it is just a case of runner's knee that should get better with rest and ice (or frozen vegetables). I ran just shy of 12 miles today though, and feel pretty good about it!
Toward the end of our run (about 9 miles in) one of the girls ahead of me started screaming. I thought maybe it was because the water stop was in sight, I would have screamed too, but it was because she nearly stepped on a dead squirrel. It was kind of gross. I think stepping on dead squirrel might be as high or close to as high on the grossness scale as stepping on fish. I tried to warn some of the group 1 runners about the squirrel as we crossed paths (us on the way to the 9 mile water stop and them on the way to the 12 mile finish) but it sort of came out as a breathy "squirreldeadcareful." They looked at me puzzled and then probably ran so fast over poor Rocky that they didn't even notice.
Great fund raising news! I am under $200 away from my goal! Wouldn't it be tremendous if you were the one to help me complete the goal?!
