    I had no idea there was such a thing as synthetic socks, and I'll be interested to find out what body glide is. Thanks for the suggestions.

    I gave up drinking pop a couple years ago. I drink about a gallon water a day.

    I've thought about raising my goal to 4 hours, but at this point even if I did that I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about 3.5. So even if I made in under 4 I'd still be angry with myself for not making it in 3.5.

    Thanks for the suggestions, thank you to everybody.

    One other thing any thoughts on training on a treadmill vs. running outside? So far I've done both. I like running outside but there are times when I feel like watching the Reds game or a basketball game while I run.
    You're running the Indy one? Good for you. I've set a goal of being in good enough shape to run the Geist Half marathon next year, and maybe I can run the full one next year.

    I've found the only problem with treadmills is they tend to be deceiving. I was working out pretty regularly at the Y last winter, and ran anywhere from 30 minutes to 80 minutes on the treadmill. I kept trying to increase my run by one mile at the end of the week. Come April I went out to the Monon and could barely run a mile and a half. So I'd be careful to at least mix in the pavement and would probably recommend it for your long run during the week.

    As far as the socks, cotton is bad. Get some running socks- they are made of cool-max or some other sort of wicking material. I like this ones, but some runners like them thicker. Check out roadrunnersports.com.
    I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.
