I ran 6.5 miles with Sasha this morning (the last .5 was with Sarah as well) running the first 6 miles in 44:XX. I finished 10 miles in 1:13:40. I was surprised at how quickly I finished the run today, because Sasha and I were chatting the entire time we were running, and when we get really talkative we usually run pretty slow. I also think that I have figured out what is going on with my foot, which has been bothering me since about a week before I ran the St. George Marathon. It seems that the left side of my calf, and some of the deeper muscles underneath the calf have been knotted up, and have been pulling kind of funny on my foot. This has been causing the foot pain. I only figured it out, because I realized that when I stretched out my calf I had the most discomfort, and when I proceeded to massage my leg I found some nasty spots that needed a good rub down. Hopefully I can get these worked out soon enough that the discomfort goes away and I can stop worrying about it.
