Well, as it turns out, I didn’t run yesterday. I had a niggling pain in my left leg (lower calf-ish shin-ish area) and knee, so after seeking advice on the Runner’s World forums, I decided it’d be best to rest and ice instead. Which I did, and my leg feels better now. Am going to ice some more, and possibly run 5 tomorrow morning. See how I’m feeling.

Kristina and I are going to the Crescent City Classic 10K expo at lunchtime today. I’m excited! Fun! I really need to find a shirt for the marathon (I know, I know, I’m supposed to train with it, but I will. I’ve never had real problems with shirts before, so I’m not too concerned about it.)

Just got back from the Crescent City Classic expo. Fun! It was big and we got lots of free stuff. Two sport water bottles, a wrist pocket thingy, a nice t-shirt, some Dr. Tichenor’s (hmmm.) Anyway, it was fun. Aaaand, I got all the things I’ll need for the marathon, so no more stressing! A nice (hmmm) orange coolmax t-shirt and a fanny pack (god i hate calling it that, and i suppose it’s even more obscene to the Brits reading this. forgive me.) to keep my camera and gels in. And then I got the gels I’ll need. All at a good price. Woo hoo!

Nervous, nervous, nervous. I have a dentist’s appointment tomorrow morning. I am going to get yelled at, quite rightly. Over two years ago (January 2000) I got a root canal, but I never went back to get the crown for it. So I have a little “tooth nub” at the back of my mouth (I’m disgusting) that needs to be crowned. Blech. Well, at least I’ll have nice clean teeth for the 10K on Saturday. Hmmph. I hope this dentist is nice. He’s new, which is another thing. I love my dentist back home. He’s very nice. Eeeeep! Of course, I should remember, this is nothing next to what Mike Henry’s going through, so I should just suck it up and deal with it like a grown-up!
