A Run, the Doctor and What are You Thinking?

Yesterday I headed off on a 30 minute run. Part of my run was through the Oaklawn Cemetery nearby. Sunrise is a pretty quiet time to run through there. An employee went by, no doubt thinking I was a bit strange for running in there, but I didn't care. I really enjoyed this short run. Overall I ran 2.5 miles. I just appreciated the quiet.

Yesterday also marked a visit to the doctor. I am trying to get my shape and health back. I have some tests coming up, and the doctor advised me to see a nutritionist. Mark and I have an appointment next week. I am also having my hearing checked. I have not really heard much out of my left ear for years, and now I have the insurance to take care of it....I hope.

Ok....this is an old rant, but a good one. Folks, if your 1/2 marathon or full marathon is the next day, and you have needed shoes for a couple of months, it is soooooooooooo wrong to get your race shoe the day before your race. You are not used to the shoe. You could get blisters. You get injured. Any number of things. Happened again today. Oy!
