3rd night of wearing 'the sock' for my PF. I don't know if it was the incredible thunderstorm on the NC coast early this morning, the bike interval training yesterday, the couple of glasses of bubbly last night but I had to take off 'the sock' to fall back asleep. For those that wore the sock or are wearing the sock currently, how much did you cut back your training? Today will be my first run day after the half last Sunday wanting to give my foot a good rest.

Terrible that stuff was stolen from your vehicle, but very fortunate that nothing irreplaceable was taken. Was the vehicle broken into, or just unlocked at the time?

Sorry that happened Wayne. Glad your medal was not taken.

I saw that medal in person, a colleague at work earned one last year, and it is awesome as are the people that earned it! Glad it was only replaceable items stolen and no harm to person. Imagine if we could just be nice to each other.

Wayne - That medal is a lot nicer than the one I got in 2007. I have to do that race again. Sorry to hear of your mishap.

I feel very lucky and blessed this morning as a priceless and irreplacable item was not stolen from me. An item that you cannot "buy" you have to "earn." ....... The driver's side door was open, most of the items from the center console were all over the two front seats, the tray was out, the overhead bin open. From what I can tell only 2 easily replacable items were "taken" from our van parked in our driveway, a satellite radio and a cell phone. The other replacable items not taken in the back of the van were bike shoes, helmet, pump, racewalking belt an ipod, sunglasses and a bunch of clothes etc. But the one item that was in the center console, that has been in there since October had me looking to see if it was still there. I looked all the way to the bottom and there it was. Shiny and new: My finishers medal from my one and only marathon: The Marine Corp Marathon.........

Wayne, like you, my first few rides outdoors gives me a pain in the neck. That is one difference with the trainer. On the trainer I don't focus what is ahead.
Again, thanks for all the shoe advice. I think I'm in the camp of if it's working don't change.
