I ran 7 miles Saturday morning. 7 painfully slow miles. But I did it. And tomorrow morning I am going to start working on speed. A short, fast (for me) 3 mile run before Keith goes to work.
Next weekend I will do 8. If I can increase my speed, I feel like I will be close to being on track after my month-long pneumonia-induced hiatus.
I am having a few problems with my big right toe and the bones or connective junk that is in my foot associated with that toe. I went to a podiatrist a few years ago with no results. If it gets worse, I will go to a sports doctor. For now, I am working on strengthening my feet by using the 5-finger foot exercises. I don't use 5-finger shoes, but the exercises have been recommended to help with this weird problem.
Yesterday I ran in shorts - 62 degrees. Today it snowed. Banjo LOVED it.
Loving running. Truly. It makes me feel good. I'm looking forward to after the race when I run more frequently for shorter times in the sunny summer weather.
