Anyway, when I was in school in Alabama, Clotheslines were still pretty popular and they had this saying for a person that was a 1/2 bubble off plumb- "He don't know if he's washing or hangin' out!"Well, right now I don't know if I'm washin' or hangin' out, I'll tell you now, you can believe me later. WTF am I talkin' about? I'm giving myself till tomorrow to decide if I'm running Arkansas. Dr. OB is right, these problems with my feet may be telling me something (not, as he suggests, that I need to work on my hand/one-eye coordination) but maybe that I need to take some time off. So, I'll run tomorrow, 15 - 20 miles and see how I feel. Then it's either: 1- Run Arkansas. 2- Get a cortizone shot and run Arkansas or C- Stop running for two months and retool and then start getting ready for Western States.
I don't know what it's gonna be, but shoot, I've 24 hours to decide. A lot can happen in 24!

Sounds like an excellent plan, m'man.
I don't think Doc OB or your feet have been the only ones "telling you something" for the past year. I'm just sayin.
If I were The Decider, I'd use drugs (heh heh heh). But whatever you decide we'll hang out with you Aman!
AMan,
Like I said several months back, you will emerge from these challenges a bigger and better person.
We are with you all of way !
Yeah, well you take two months off from running, you will emerge a "bigger" person ...
I say take the cortisone, pop some oxycodone, take a slug of man-up and run the thing barefoot ... that'w what Dean would do.
Didn't anyone else catch the punchline of this whole post? School in Alabama!!!! That's a classic...I gotta remember that one.
No pain no gain.
