Norway Maple 8 Miler


Norway Maple

Ran this 8 mile run around Sunview Lake and got a picture of this beautiful Maple catching the sunset. It got a little too dark to take pictures later on and I finished my run in twilight. It was my longest run in my new shoes since the bunion attack. Everything seemed ok - no rubbing, no redness or sore spots. The run was slow and my legs are little sore getting used to the shoes but the shoes are (so far) a good fit for marathon training. May have to get some insoles to help keep the bunion from having much pressure.

It was quite beautiful outside and I was struck at how long the leaves remain on the trees well into fall. The first cold snap should do them in. If I'm going to do Myrtle Beach I really have to intensity my program in December and have a couple of 100 miles months. Need to get off my butt since the bunion doesn't seem to be the hindrance I thought it would.
