Foot

So as I mentioned in my last post my foot has been bothering me. It was really bad this past weekend but has been slowly getting better. It doesn't hurt most of the day and I have gone to the gym twice this past week to get my BBB workouts in. I'm really itching to get back to running but I keep telling myself that it's important to give your foot some rest so that you can get back to running quicker. So I don't hop on the treadmill. Also my foot throbs every time I look at it which could also be keeping me from running. It could also be a mental thing but whatever.

The only issue with putting off running is the fact that the weather is beautiful this week and will be through the weekend. This only makes me want to get outside and run even worse. So I'm going to tempt fate and try a run this afternoon after work. I want to give my new running pants a shot and see how they hold up. Plus being stuck inside when it is this nice out is a bummer.

Saturday is going to be the real test. I have an 8 miler scheduled and it's supposed to be 60 that day. Perfect. We don't have anywhere to be until 3:30 which gives me plenty of time to get a nice long slow run in. I may even go to a trail with hills. I hate hills so this is a big step for me but the ground may be a little softer and have a bit more give. That's the goal. And to run most of it. Hopefully all of it. Fingers crossed.

I'm hoping to finalize my race schedule here soon. I need to actually sit down with pen and paper and decide which ones I want to do, which ones I can fit in, and which ones I can afford. Affording to race is going to be the big issue after I narrow it down. There are just so many options out there. I think virtual is going to be the way to go for most of them.

Which reminds me, I need to sign up for the Cleveland Marathon before the price goes up. Off to do that now. Have a great day!
