Without working out.  But another week being sick.  I actually started feeling worse this week, developing a cough mid-week that still has me down.  After a few late nights and stressful days at work my body was run down and  enjoyed taking a sick day on Friday.  Hopefully I’ll start feeling better soon.  It has been really frustrating because the weather has been so nice and perfect for running but I’ve been stuck inside healing up my foot and my sinus/cough issues.

On the foot front, things are feeling pretty good.  I bought a pair of neutral shoes to test out my experiment of switching running shoes.  So far, in the walking around category, my foot has enjoyed a more neutral approach.  We’ll see.  Maybe I’ll go to a store and do a treadmill test before I start running again.

Past Highlights

In my ongoing look at other blogs I talked about Steve Runner’s blog. It is almost all just show notes.  In 2007, I ran the DINO Series – Fort Harrison race.  I miss running the DINO races and their excellent race director Brian.  I also did an in-depth review of the three training cylces from 2007, the first talks about my slow comeback from injury.

Last year I did an in-depth review of Running – the Sacred Art reviewing the book chapter by chapter.  The first in the eight part series was Foundations of a Spiritual Runner.  You will probably want to skip this Foto Friday picture of Nathan without his shirt on, eating a hot dog.  By the way, Nathan moved, got married, and forgot how to update his blog, or something like that! But then maybe a 2:51 marathoner has other things to worry about.
