Another beautiful day

Everyone is enjoying summer, so it was just Jill and I again this morning. Mike couldn't pull himself out of bed after a WEEK of vacation! A relaxing 5.5 miles.

Miles

I finally got to add some miles to my running log! I ran 5.6 with Jill today. We will see how my foot reacts. If it feels okay, I plan on running tomorrow too. It really sucks to look at my weekly mileage log and see only 8 miles!

There is nothing else to talk about so...

I might as well talk about biking. Did you notice that my lifetime log now includes biking? In desperation to get some exercise I took middle son (on tag-a-long) biking on Sunday. Of course we biked one of our running loops.

I gotta say - I still don't like biking (I hear the Schmidts and Fannings groaning!) And I have to say (a day later) that my butt doesn't either. Plus heaven showed it agreed with me by giving us a sign - pouring rain down on us at the very end. I just have a hard time ever imagining enjoying it. Of course, I haven't tried it with a iPod audio book, maybe that would help.

I need to figure out how to get that biking off my lifetime log. I think it is going to stay at 9 miles for along time. It would be even more embarrassing if you knew how long it took me!

My foot experiment: My foot hurts today (after my mega distance run of 2.6 miles), but not as bad as last week and no limping. I take that as a good sign. I may have to join Kwik Trip girl on Friday for a run.

Injury Reserve List

My foot "issues" flamed up last week to the point where walking was a painful endeavor. I have an appointment with a podiatrist on the 26Th, so I have decided to take a break from running until then. However, I am finding this an exercise in willpower. I am seriously thinking about running tomorrow am to see what happens.

Well, apparently my willpower is weak because I wrote the above paragraph yesterday and I just got back from a shortened (2.6) morning run. I wanted to see how my foot responded the rest of the day. It felt okay during the run, but that is not when I experience the pain. So, the true test will be the rest of the day. It had been feeling better, so I know the rest did help.

Keeping toes crossed......
