Tomorrow is the big test. On tap - a nine mile confidence run for the LI half marathon in 2 weeks. The weather is looking to be perfect: cool early, sunny and dry. Knock this out and then register for the half and the NYC marathon.

Saw Dr. Mitchell Greenbaum, podiatrist, for my plantar fasciitis. He recommended stretching my achilles, arch supports and dropping a couple of pounds. On the scale this morning I was only 4 pounds above what I thought. I'm not too far off base. Stay tuned!
