If the shoe fits...

So I have determined that the whole idea of breaking in your running shoes is a myth. I just bought a new pair of shoes last week and put about three miles on them before running a marathon in them. My feet felt great the whole time and I did not end up with a single blister. I think that if a shoe really fits it will not hurt your feet or give you blisters. You just need the appropriate shoe for your foot and running needs. I am not going to post all of the things that I ate over the weekend because I was trying to get ready for the race and recover from the race. When you burn over 3800 calories, you just need to eat to replenish them. You get the large shake, and agree to the second beer. I am going to run another half this weekend, but will not get as crazy about eating this week. I am ready to start shedding these pounds. Yesterday I ate:

Breakfast: Bagel sandwich with eggs, cheese, bacon, veggies, 1/2 bagel with cream cheese
Lunch: Cheese burger, 20 strawberries, grapes, 1 beer, 1 slice of key lime pie
Dinner: 1 1/2 cups salad, 4 pieces of Punch pizza

Marathon Breakdown: avg heart rate 150, total calories 3865, 4:01.20, avg speed 6.7
(8:54, 8:48, 8:52, 8:36, 8:44, 8:37, 8:40, 8:40, 8:41, 8:52, 8:40, 8:45, 8:44, [1:54 at the half] 8:47, 8:53, 8:55, 8:56, 9:01, 9:12, 9:19, 9:24, 10:48, 10:04, 11:11, 10:39, 10:38, 2:01) 4:01.20
