The only thing I have available is <a href="http://www.runningahead.com/logs/a312fa7b425345baa566c13352cb420a" rel="nofollow">my RunningAhead log</a>. I've been contemplating making a running blog as a form of positive peer pressure for my friends and family. I hadn't given it a ton of thought until I saw your running blog for the first time today, so I'll see what I can do. If I do, I'll let you know. ;-) I don’t have a running blog.

Cameron, Yeah I stretch regularly and have no trouble there. Though I hardly stretch at all before the run. I stretch after thoroughly following the advice of most of the running gods. :) Do you keep a running blog? I'd love to hear how the half marathon goes! Ben, I hope my email answered your question.

I'm 16 days away from my first race -- a Half-Marathon (13.1mi). *gulp* I'm up to 8mi runs now and feel like adding another 5mi won't kill me -- that's a nice feeling. I haven't really paid much attention to timing a 5k, but I'm really close to being able to pull that off. I normally do long runs of 5mi+ at around a 10:30 pace. Surely, I could pick up the pace on a 5k. I'll add a 30min 5k run to my list of goals. An aside: It took me 4 weeks to figure out that it really helps to stretch, especially my Achilles. The first 2 or 3 miles were always difficult because my Achilles were tight. I finally started stretching them real good, and it is much, much better now. I initially stretched for about 1min total, but I starting doing 5 sets of 1min stretches for each leg, and it's made a world of difference. Anyway, just wanted to pass that on in case any out there is as stubborn as I am about stretching. Hey, Joe.

I have a question, though, about the GTD system you are trying. How do you handle context lists? It seems like a pain to have to scan your entire list to find the items that you need to do when you are at your computer or when you are a the store. Any thoughts?
