you guys hit the nail on the head with the dad bod. i ran a steady but very slow 12 miles this morning and am paying for it. any tips for what to do the day after a long run if the back is still sore? i’ve been dabbling in yoga but it’s hard to tell a difference yet.

luckily, the weather was gorgeous. low 80s, brilliant sunshine, and a slight breeze. it doesn’t get any better than that, huh?

Did you order your Boston 8s yet?

Yeah I got them for like 30 percent off. Should have them by early next week.

You'll have to tell me what you think.

I'll probably switch back to Bostons for marathon training in the fall.

I still have a pair of 7s on the shelf I haven't used yet.

Got a free entry into next year's Bataan Death March.

So I guess I'll be running with the 35-pound ruck again.

Who’s better to see about chronic foot pain related to a break? Podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon?

I'd go to the foot guy first

my back feels great today, guys. i might be turning a corner in my return-to-form journey.

more importantly, i’m learning to love again the little meditations that a nice long run affords. there is a particular stretch during my favorite trail in which, were it not for the paved trail itself, there would be no signs of civilization. no cars whooshing gently in the distance, no chatter of other runners or dog walkers, no distant crack of a bat from a ballgame—just the deep sigh of the sublime. running is truly a joy.

no wonder most runners are so centered and peaceful.

did you say you like mizunos, r2d?

I liked the Wave Ekidens. I ran my best ever road race in them. A 1:22 half marathon.

so what's the consensus on relay races? running fad with an excuse to cash in on states' tourism booms (i.e., the kentucky bourbon trail relay) or a legitimate activity for serious runners? i lead toward the former.

Please don't say "latter" or "former". It's unbecoming.
