The Continuing Adventures of Toots and Sally: Two Women. One Marathon. A Dream.
..and it was Effortless. Yes, that’s how I describe riding my new bike –EFFORTLESS.
What a sweet ride, if I do say so myself. While Sally has The Duchess of Spokes , Lumpy is now riding the Tardis. (Figure it out on your own.) We took a ride to get kitty food , sundries, and a little tasty beverage . All on our bikes. A quick 10 mile round trip. It was fun. And a nice little training workout.
We should back ourselves a little harder, and have a bit more courage and resolve.

And now, the next installment of my nit-picking of How to run 50 marathons in 50 days.
In the Wired piece the Perfect Human it is written:
8. LEARN TO LOVE KRAZY GLUE
If something goes wrong - and it inevitably will - it’s usually with Karnazes’ feet. In races and on training runs, he has battled giant, foot-devouring blisters. A surprisingly effective treatment: Krazy Glue. Pop the blister, slather the wound with the super-adhesive, and voilà - your foot is ready to take a beating again. The glue acts as a kind of indestructible second skin and has helped Karnazes finish competitions he wouldn’t have otherwise. (Officially, Krazy Glue recommends avoiding all contact with skin.)
This one seems especially pertinent, given the toenails that are in need of reattachment. Let’s be a little more scientific about this one, however. Krazy Glue is the brand name for a “super glue” made from cyanoacrylate . And, while Krazy Glue does not recommend it’s product for treating wounds, the are definite medical uses for cyanoacrylate as wound closures. I guess Karnazes is just too cheap to get any of the medically approved versions . Oh well.
So, Toots, you can save your toenail now!!!
