Marathon - Deferred

I was having a hard time deciding if I'm going to run my first marathon at the CamSur Marathon. Well, it was decided for me. While attending the parents orientation from my sons' school, I found out that my youngest son's "Father and Son Bonding Activity" was scheduled on September 25 - the same day as CamSur. It's first things first, and it is clear what the priority is.

Anyway, there will be other marathons.

I'll just take this as an opportunity to focus on letting my plantar fascia heal and to focus on losing more weight, before going back to marathon training.

I still have plantar fasciitis and for the first time I have a dead toenail (on my big toe; from my marathon). About my running gear: I retired my Mizuno Wave Elixir and Nike LunarGlide, and replaced them with the New Balance 870 and Nike LunarGlide 2. I bought 2 new Nike running shorts, 2 New Balance c...
