This is the amazing Peg Leg Bates (google him, now he is the definition of 'winning').Now obviously I'm exaggerating, but the sensation of running after 4 or 5 miles means my entire left foot is tingling so much I can't feel my toes, the ball of my foot or my heel, it's like running on a stump. I've had two injections into the tendon so far and it seems to be helping, however, my Tuesday 5 mile lunch time run was cut short as I couldn't go any further. It's 10 weeks to the marathon now and I'm really trying hard to have enough in me to run it in under 4 1/2 hours.
It's really tough.
However, the sun was out on my run on Tuesday, there's nearly $800 raised between Eliza and I for the kids and if we get to that magic $1000 all this running, pain, and blogging will be worth it. Those kids and the staff that care for them are amazing and they need every penny they can get to continue the work they do and give those lovely children the education and life they so deserve.
