So, I think I've been a bit of a princess with my foot. After Jeff's post to loosen my shoe I've been doing it and it seems to be getting better, that and I've been staying away from anything with laces other than running shoes the last couple of days. I think my problem starts with hearing so many injury stories that any little hint of something now throws me into princess mode and I panic. Just look at what the running culture is doing to me.

Today's boring TM run was the usual channel surfing, mind numbing event that I am now too used to. It was soccer, HGTV, ESPN Classics and anything in between. Legs are feeling pretty good ran 11 miles at 6:40-6:27 pace with out too much fatigue, 4 mile cool down.

I'm also looking for a body lube sponsorship after today. You'd think I would learn, but nope. So if anyone has connections I could do some testing. 

 

I've also decided to start eating like a horse at breakfast and it seems to be paying off with much better energy throughout the day. We'll see how it effects my weight :) ... Not that I care about a couple of pounds if I feel better. Although, weight watchers does have a special going on .... hmmmm.

OUCH!!! That's the worst. Nice run today anyways. The treadmill use to bother me more than it has lately. I think it's one of those things that kind of comes and goes. Of course I have great company 90% of the time I'm on the treadmill which helps a ton.

Lube is a necessity for anything longer than 10 miles! Talk to Gray about buying in mass quantities, maybe he will give you a discount.

Glad the foot is feeling a bit better, I hope that the lacing solves the issue.

Runners constantly have "niggles" (a term brought the Blog by Sam Howard). The skill is to know when the pain is more than just a small thing but an indicator or precursor to something bigger. This is something everyone has to discover for themselves as our bodies all react to the stresses of running and life differently.
