Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.00	0.00	8.00

DECIDED after MANY BIG MILE MONDAYS (hmmm let's see-- 16, 21, 12, 26.2....) to take it down a notch and run only 8 miles today and I am glad I did as all these hot flashes weren't for nothing. Now timing is way off for SGM. Who the heck knows how anything will fall then besides my SUB THREE!! : D. It is definitely a neuroma in my foot. I forgot to mention also that years ago I had one removed between my second and third metatarsal after failed cortisone shots times two or three. I am determined NOT to even consider surgery this time. I just need to replace my shoes faster. DANG these mizunos don't last long in the forefoot. I need to write the company. Some improvement could be added there. In fact all the fancy swirling rubber on the sole doesn't even touch the ground and that looks the most stable. I think the colored rubber doesn't last as long or breaks down quicker, one in the same. AP in the gross humid air (still sweating like I have a hormone problem)-- 8:15 for 8. This run I ran 4.5 miles came inside to talk with Courtney before school. Melted in doors then significantly cooled off and started running again 30 minutes later when the sun was out. Just not into it with my fluid-filled legs and abdomen. BLAH. Tomorrow is another day : D.

So when my neuroma was acting up I didn't want to do surgery either, so I started looking in to optional treatments. there is a pretty new treatment where they inject the nerve with alcohol to kill it. Supposedly it's been quite effective. Here is a link describing the method. http://www.ajronline.org/content/188/6/1535.full

The custom orthodics ended up working for me so I never did the treatment, but there is a sports dr. in my neighborhood that said he'd try it if I really wanted him to.

thanks Carina. I definitely would do this therapy.

Nike shoes are pretty supportive in the forefoot I think. I will shamelessly promote the Lunarfly now.
