Foot

Did elliptical and Jillian workout yesterday--no foot pain whatsoever since I had taken pain reliever after waking up (so it really is pretty much just when running). This morning had minor pain--Excedrin took the edge off...only pain now is upon rotating it. So I should be good for a run...hoping to get in 6.

If I have to be an "every other day" runner leading up to the 1/2, I think it is fine. I plan to also really pick up the cross training.

I know that my foot is probably a tendon or some tissue or something. But there is this teeny fear that it is another stress fracture. I have suspected my left leg is longer than my right for some time, and I think it takes a beating on the road. I remember my dr. told me that I may not have the bone structure to handle longer runs (though I trained for my first half with no issues. But then again, I followed a 3x week running program). The biggest issue would be that two stress fractures in a year may indicate some bone density issues. And yeah, I think I just got a little ahead of myself.

My body actually prefers evening runs--7ish. But it has been awhile since I have done that. Now at 7ish I am t-i-r-e-d. Though I am a little excited for an evening run....I honestly can't say the last time I did one.

Most likely a day off from running tomorrow (unless I have no pain)--maybe I will X it up. Russ is restarting the program and it is always more fun (and much easier) to maintain it with someone else.

This is the most boring post I have ever done. It is putting me to sleep. Which is fine. Since Greta is napping right now.
