Nottingham & 'Sherwood' Forest

About this time last year I took a trip to the real Nottingham and Sherwood Forest in England. This year I get to settle for running to a neighborhood call Nottingham through a forest that reminds me very much of Sherwood Forest. This is what I did today. I'm leaving later tonight for Louisville, Kentucky, and the 133rd Kentucky Derby. I HAVE to run since I'll only get 2 runs in at best in Kentucky. I figured a nice easy 4 miler would do nicely and leave me plenty of time to pack. So off I went going nice and slow, as usual. It seems that once I get through the first mile to mile and a half I find my rhythm and don't want to walk every 5 steps anymore. After 3 miles I was actually feeling really good considering I've been doing most of my running on a treadmill. The only problem was that I couldn't feel my toes since they had gone all tingly. It was really nice weather outside and I'm really going to try to keep off of that treadmill in my basement! You don't run a marathon on a treadmill now do you?
