Thanks everyone for your words of support. It’s most appreciated. :)

So, the plan is to call my doctor tomorrow (Monday) and make an appointment. I’m hoping I can get in right away but it’ll depend on how busy he is I guess.

I’ll be in the gym tomorrow and the next day and the next day until I figure out what the heck is going on with my foot and am ok to run again.

Hopefully that won’t be too long. This not running stuff SUCKS!

Oh! Thanks also for the compliments on my new blog design. I’m pretty happy about it especially since I did this one entirely on my own from the ground up. I actually feel like I’m beginning to understand and LIKE this cascading style sheet (CSS) stuff.

Learning sure is great ain’t it?



muhuhahaha!

Aaron and I now have Pamalamadingdong in our creepy crawly halloween clutches!

She’s moved her blog here!

Yay Pam. Welcome!

Well, yesterday I thought things were ok with my foot. Today I don’t. My arch and ankle hurt more today than they did before my run yesterday so I am for sure going to go see my doctor.

I hope it’s not major.



attention bloglines users!

I was curious why my bloglines subscription to Jon’s blog shows the link to his comments, whereas the subscription to my own did not.

Turns out when you subscribe to some blogs, you have two choices. For example, in the case of my blog the choices are:

http://www.completerunning.com/running-blog-mark/wp-rss2.php and http://www.completerunning.com/running-blog-mark/wp-atom.php

Most of my bloglines readers (you know who you are) are subscribed to the second feed – the one that ends in wp-atom.php If you want to see a link to my comments, you should subscribe to the FIRST one that ends in wp-rss2.php

Bloglines makes this easy. Put my blogs main address http://www.completerunning.com/running-blog-mark/ in the search box and select the Subscribe to URL option from the drop down list and press enter. Once you’ve done this, you will see the feed you need to subscribe to. Subscribe!

I imagine this kinda thing applies to other blogs and maybe even to news feed application/programs but I’m not sure.

Whatever you choose, it’s nice to have you aboard!
