Running

I went for my first run in two weeks today and... there was no pain!!

Caution to the wind and I'm hoping to get 50 miles in this weekend followed by Pilgrims next weekend! :) If it flares up again I'll be off to the doc for a dose of cortisol (?) to tide me over until after the TP.

Ran with a friend today who told me how he ran the 'last' 40km of the Comrades Ultra Marathon in South Africa using suppositories and was unaware that his small toes were curled up under the outside ball of his feet until after. He apparently peed blood for three days.

The closest I've come to using a 'substance' in a race is from when I was giving up cigarettes and I ran a marathon chewing copious amounts of nicorette gum, sugar free ones though, but still looked forward to every new reload of gum.
