Thanks Dama! my only regret from the Naked Foot 5k was we had maybe 12 members there but didn't get a chance to take pictures until the very end when half of them had already left!
Dama, I copied this from the May first RR, not sure who labled it.
The other picture from the Naked Foot 5K I'm not sure of the people.
Cast of Characters (right to left): Troy (Smelph), Amie (Khyricat), Eric (Starbase606), Ken (Jones), Dave (Dmcchesney), Alan (Longboard), Raya (Eric's Daughter – not pictured), Colleen (My wife – not pictured)
Left to right: Me, Scott Hadley, Ken Jones (Jones), John (StJohntheGambler), Jason (Last Place Jason) and Johnny (7Ships). Yes, that pose is mandatory!
we also had a few other people there we didn't get a picture of: Eric (starbase606), Brandon (bmulnix), Jocelyn, honorary Michigander Ken Bob Saxton (he grew up here so I'm counting him!) and I think LeeJo was there but I'm not 100% sure I remember right. There are also 2-3 others I know where there but can't remember their BRS names off the top of my head.
Autumn in Michigan is tough.........we were "Born to Store Fat" this time of year, and it's so hard to fight the urge.
I'm finding it hard to get motivated to run, sitting and eating comes so much more naturaly. I have to convince those areas of my brain that want me to prepare for the long winter to instead prepare for the Florida beaches come X-mas break.
Yeah actually the foot pain that plagued me for months is gone through a combination of rest, spacers between my toes while I slept, muscle rolling and a whisper of anti-inflammatories (I took one advil a couple weeks ago and that was the finishing blow).
It was a slow start, ramping the mileage back up, but it's been about a month now and I'm back up to an hour long run. I'm hopiong to get back up to 1.5-2 hour long runs before my training cycle starts up in December, but I'm just glad to be back out there.
