Personal:

I'm married to a very supportive, although slightly less enthusiastic runner than I.  Alisha has run a little with me and participated in several 5k's, but mostly she supports me at races.  She ran her first half in November, 2011.  We have a son who was born in 2010, the year that I ran my first marathon.  I participated in my first Triathlon in April 2011.  I think I may have been bitten by the Ironman bug.  Though an Ironman finish is a long term goal, I want to BQ first. 

I find that the more I run the more I want to run.  I consider my self a running addict.  I like the motto: pain is weakness leaving your body.

I really enjoyed my run this morning.  I was feeling really good almost all the way through.  I think the ball of my left foot seems to be almost completely back to normal.  I did feel my right calf muscle tinge up on me a bit right at the end with only half a mile left to my finish.  Hopefully it was just a cramp, but I will ice it just to be safe.  

 A funny thing happened when I got back.  The sweat on the back of my head mask was stiff and crunchy!  Frozen!

I ran this morning in 24 degrees.  My right calf and the ball of my left foot both felt fine.  When I got home I transferred my insoles to my work shoes and wore them all day to work in.  I am beginning an experiment to wear my insoles at work to see if the ball of my left foot feels normal at the end of the day.  Today I am happy to report that it felt fine all day.  Usually what happens is that by the end of the day it feels like something is in my shoe under the ball of my foot.  It feels like I am stepping on something.  If wearing my insoles at work makes my foot feel better I will get an extra set for my work shoes.

I'll try to remember to report in this blog tomorrow how my feet feel at the end of the day.
