Well today is a historical day...I ran my first run with a garmin!  I went on line to try to figure out which one to get and I finally clued in that I should check out the blog!  Very helpful information on the discussion board.  I went for the 205 forerunner.  Here are my splits!  10:34, 10:06, 10:04, 10:04, 9:41, 9:53.   AP 10:04  Felt good to get out and start again with a routine of running.  We're for the most part staying in one place until the end of this month when we return to West Africa.

Got a late start this morning (7am) and it warmed up a bit too much for me.  Was planning on doing 5 miles but decided 4 was just fine for now.  Here are my splits:  10:18, 10:05, 9:58, 10:14.  AP 10:08

Nice run this morning but a bit tough.  The area I live in is all ups and downs and it seemed like this morning was more ups than downs.  I'm also doing some research with my running shoes.  I wear orthotics and my left heal got quite bruised with so much running and pounding and I wasn't in a place to get new pads.  I made some modifications and it worked OK.  First think I did when I got stateside was get new padding on the orthotics.  The guy who did the work tried something different (NEVER a good idea a week before a race) and they definitely had more padding, but my shoe no longer fit.  So, I thought I would try the same shoe only a wide size.  My feet hurt after walking and stand for an hour.  So, went back to the office and asked him to do the padding the exact same way as before.  That was much better.  Now I've been trying running in a 2 different pair of shoes, one regular and one wide.  I have issues with loosing toenails regularly so I though maybe going to a wide might help.  I'm coming to the conclusion that the wide doesn't feel right on my foot.  Shoe feels too big.  The regular width feels good, but there are again toe nail issues.  BUT, my heal is feeling much better and I think it actually feels better, took, in the regular width shoe.  I need to get another pair or 2 before we leave to take with me.

 oh...today's run.  Here are the splits:  10:42, 10:13, 10:04, 9:17, 9:42, 9:29, 9:47, 10:09

AP 9:55
