Gifts

Thanks so much for all of you that have given thus far.  It is so humbling and exciting to see gifts coming in to help us impact the lives of so many. 
I am having a hard time with the long runs.  I ran 12 miles again yesterday.  My feet just can't understand why I would ask them to carry a fat man this far.  After each long run they spasm for a couple hours and...oh yeah the blisters.  Any suggestion would be wonderful.  Last week I finished the run and did not do well because of dehydration.  So this week I drank over 40 oz.  before and during the run and still was very dehydrated after.  The dehydration was so bad I had cold shivers for a couple hours.  I know this is more detail than you want but change is hard and fraught with many perils.
