Feeling Better
Not good, but better. I’m trying to catch up on some things that have backlogged since I spent the better part of the last 48 hours in bed - not my idea of fun. I’ve been feeling congested for the last two weeks or so, and I think I’m paying now for medicating to hold things off until after the marathon. Urgh. No exercise planned for today - I’m feeling better, but my psoras is still a little sore and my quads still make themselves known when I go down stairs. Tomorrow I’ll go out for 3-5 miles or so, probably with the dog.
Today I just need to remember to keep drinking lots of fluids, and to try to eat something substantial.
In lighter news, if you do a Google search for olympic and Boston marathoner Gelindo Bordin, my skimpy writeup of his talk at RunTex comes up first. Now that’s funny. My most common search hit? Chocolate flan cake. Hmm.
UPDATE: It seems that Google now thinks that this page is the best one to direct people to for cake. If you want to try it - and its a damned good recipie - you actually want to read the original Chocolate Flan Cake posting instead.

Sorry to hear you’re feeling the yuck.
Today someone stumbled across my blog by looking for “depressed labrador”.

I’m glad you are feeling better. Take it easy!
I enjoyed reading your write-up of Gelindo Bordin’s talk (and Rich’s too). I think there are life lessons in what he had to say. I think perhaps you experienced what he meant when he said you can’t change what happens race day.
By the way, I’m very impressed that you cut more than an hour off your marathon time, and you did it under difficult conditions. If I could do that then I’d have a shot at qualifying for Boston.
Chocolate flan cake. Looks tasty. May have to give it a try some day.
Get well soon!

Hi there
Im an Irish lass living in London and on April 17th im runnning the london marathon. In a bid to draw up some attention from the blog commnity I am holding a blog marathon on 11th March.
It is an opportunity to bring the blogging community together and also raise awareness of your blog.
The idea for my post http://everythingirish.blogspot.com/ is that I blog for 26.2 hours placing a post up every half an hour. hopefully if I can drum up enough interest so that people will read my blog and maybe donate some money to a good cause (raising £1500 for ActionAid who help fight poverty).
But anyone can join in this blog marathon. Just for fun, to attract people to there site, to drum up business, or like me trying to raise money for charity.
Check out http://blogmarathon.blogspot.com/ if you would like to join this blog marathon.
my running blog is http://michellesmarathon.blogspot.com/
Spread the word!
Thanks Michelle

You sort of deserve it.
