Back in training

VERY long time since last post. Had health problems---upper respiratory bug that took 7 weeks to get over, then my cat died---in the process of feeding her during final weeks I picked up Campylobacter from chicken. Got Azithromycin -- that killed the bacteria and everything else. SOOO by late June I felt pretty normal---tough first part of the year. At my age, recovery isn't speedy. I'm now getting several Medicare supplemental policy solicitations a day from every insurance company I've ever heard of---LOL.

Recently met with steering committee aimed at starting charity running organization in this area and signed up for City to Sea Half  to support their efforts to launch--- never run it before, but have run most of course in training.  Not really enough time to train fully, but the knees are pretty happy and I need some focus. Race (a misnomer for me) is October 16th.

Changes to equipment are minor since last post---running in Newton Distance shoes now. In April I tried Aetrex 405 insoles thanks to recommendation from friend and like them a lot. Otherwise still using Evolution Running techniques and the metronome in a hydration vest.

Today I'm back to PM running. Ran in AM from July 2nd though August 6th, but just don't get the time in running early in the AM down in Los Osos. Going to be warm today up Cayucos Creek, but the sun is setting earlier than in July.
