End of July update

I figured out my leg pain: pretty certain it was the cleats and not being able to properly adjust to their severe lack of support. I bought pretty cheap ones, not really thinking about it. Perhaps more expensive ones offer more support. Anyway, I stopped wearing them at practice and during games and voila - no more odd pain! I ran 3 miles and felt normal again.

Speaking of running, I haven't been doing much of it except during Ultimate, but that's OK. However,  I am really looking forward to some long runs again. I would like to do the Cincinnati Half Marathon again this year. It was fun enough, and cheap. It would be fun to repeat the Pig Half and run with Greg and Casey. The more the merrier. I think I'll have a goal too...doubt I can run it as fast as I did it the first time which is also my half PR, but who knows...with spinning and some buckling down....
