Thanks Pam!!!
No, I already did the shoe evaluation thing with an expert at the beginning of all of this, and I have a nice big toe box. I just think that a 250 pound woman, walking 13 miles, and almost 5 hours is going to get an injury or two here or there haha I have a good friend who has already run marathons, etc. and she has had several black toenails, and each of the books I've even read of the professionals and they end up with them occasionally too. It seems to come with the territory now and then ha
Good luck to your daughter! We've done 5 5Ks, 1 10K and now a half marathon, with several more 5Ks coming up the end of this year (even one on New Year's eve! ha in Wisconsin! ha that will be a nice, chilly affair haha but thankfully by then we'll be running part of it, so it will go fast)
Our full marathon is set for the end of May in Green Bay. We will also do another half marathon in April here in Oshkosh as part of our training, and of course lots of training and 5 and 10Ks in between. We're hooked haha
Thanks again and much love and success to your daughter!!! It's addicting, that's for sure!
and I really appreciate your taking time out of your healing to say "hi" to me in my thread. I am constantly praying and sending loving thoughts to you for your healing!!! (((((((((hugs))))))))
Love, Sharon
