Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

I'm training for a marathon the weekend after next. I'm excited for it. It's an evening event, and since the sun doesn't set till almost 11pm it should be really nice. I signed up for it on a whim last week after my long runs went super well and I felt good about my running, also after going for a few "barefoot" runs (wearing sandals), which is new for me. I ran a half marathon in my racing flats not long ago, but I think for this marathon I will stick to my regular distance running shoes.

It feels a bit weird not to be on a proper training schedule but I think my instincts are guiding me well at this point (and my endurance is still pretty high from an ultra two months ago).
