Today was pretty good.  My feet are still hurting, but I really had to get out and do something.  I actually ran outside today and boy did it feel nice.

Good run today.  I was on the treadmill because it was snowing.  I could have gone farther, but considering that my foot is just allowing me to run, I figured that I'd better not push it.  No pain today at all when I run or walk.  It is sensitive to the touch on the top of my foot, so I can't tie my shoe too tight.  Considering the pathetic running week I had last week, I'm hoping to get back to 15 miles this week without the pain that prevents running next week.

Easy run today.  I wanted to get at least three, but I think my lunch was really slowing me down.

Easy run today. I only had twenty minutes to run, so I did as much as I could in that time.

The first couple of miles were really hard today.  I really didn't want to keep going, but I pushed through it and had a really good run.  It felt really good and I feel very energized.  No pain at all in my foot or hip.

 So I have been experimenting a little bit with forefoot striking when I run.  I'm  not sure if this is a better way to run or not, but I seem to be having less pain when I do so.
