Home Is Wherever I'm With You . . .

This is a line from an Edward Sharpe song (Home) that I listen to after every run when I am stretching. Ran 3 miles tonight. First time all summer that I have ran later than 6:00 in the morning! It was 7:30pm when I left and it was still well over 90 degrees! I have had a pain in my left butt cheek since my 7 mile run yesterday. I am a little nervous because there is a nerve back there (sciatic) that can cause all kinds of trouble. So now I am not only icing my left foot and knee but I am also icing my left butt cheek. You can only imagine how sexy my wife thinks that is. My training plan does not call for me to run tomorrow or Saturday. Sunday is 15 miles. I have never run 15 miles. I am excited about all of the "firsts" that this journey will bring me. Speaking of "firsts", my daughter starts kindergarten in a few weeks . . .I am going to have to ice my heart as well.
