It's over, man. Let her go.

Nice fun run at Midnight.  Well, not exactly at Midnight...11:30pm until after Midnight.  So, I was cruising up Cemetery Lane, but I was disappointed to find that all the entrances to the cemetery were locked...so I had to alter my course to go past the small cemetery near my house to just run up and down in it while listening to Thriller, just for Burt.  I didn't include that time or distance since running amongst the undead doesn't count, or so I'm told.  Here's the course in case you're interested.  :-)  I broke in the new pair of 758s that I got late last week.  Love those shoes!

I had to drop my car off for some new tires tomorrow morning, but after a full day of work, waiting for our friends to drop off their parrot, running necessary errands, and getting some dinner, it was 10:30.  So, I decided that going out late was better than not going at all (Sasha's list of excuses haunts me).  My wife thought I was nuts (when doesn't she?) for going out so late, but I'm addicted to running and don't want to lose my momentum! 

I've got to get my concealed weapons permit so I can carry while running this late.  Until I get in the groove of running at 5am, late night is what it's going to have to be.  Hopefully soon I can convince my body that before work is better than super late at night.  Not sure if it's possible, but I need to try!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

No running today.  :-(  I had hoped to get home in time to run before my Podiatrist appointment, but no luck.  

Saw the doc and it looks like I may be able to get away with 2-3 rounds of cortizone shots rather than killing the nerves with an alcohol based solution.   This is good in that I'll just have to go back every 3 weeks or so 2-3x, rather than every week for 6-7x.  Both nerves in both feet are extremely inflamed and so I had to get two shots in the top of each foot.  Freakin' painful!

I shouldn't run "until the weekend," according to the doc.  So, since I'm only working a half day on Thursday and I have Friday off, that means my weekend really starts on Thursday, so I'll be giving it a go then.  :-)  I don't see how running will make a difference since the cortizone is in the foot and running isn't going to change that, and if walking doesn't dilute it or move it around the foot, then I don't get it.  But I'll take a couple days off and work on my pectorals and gluteus maximuses (or is it maximi?).  Might as well get looking good so I can wear the FRB singlet without a base layer.  :-)  I could lose a little of the muffin tops, but that will have to wait until I'm running more miles.  lol

I knew everyone would be sooo interested in my foot adventures, and you were waiting with baited breath to hear my diagnosis, that I had to update all of you immediately.  Stay tuned!

10:30pm - the weekend came early today!  Nice run but I was tired and would have rather skipped it.  Had to run the car out to the shop for its inspection, so I decided to run home.  Just coming straight home would have only been about 3mi.  Instead, I took the long, HILLY way.

Gotta get to sleep, so here are the splits:  8:58, 8:30, 11:09, 8:40, 9:33, (0.87) 8:46.

Wow...either my headlamp has brand new batteries or I was running during the daylight hours!! I ran out to get the car at the shop but decided to take the more direct route this time since I've got a cold! Thought it was just allergies yesterday, but it's definitely a cold. :-( No need to post splits...they were all in the 10:30-11:10 range since I walked a fair amount. I'm gonna try and get some sleep tonight and see if I can shake this thing by the weekend.
