Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.00	0.00	8.00

EARLY TM run-- 5:35am---2% incline, 8 miles, 7:52 AP. First mile 9:05. Gradually increased the pace every 1/2 mile by .2 mph until at 7:30 pace (four miles). Ran 3 miles at 7:30 then the last mile somewhere about 7:00 AP, getting it down to 6:27 briefly. STUPID PF! I am determined that this is a DISEASE!! seriously WHATEVER you do don't CATCH it!! I also have a Morton's Neuroma between metatarsals 3 and 4 on the opposite foot. I can actually see it bulging on the top between my two toes. It feels like a toe nail is growing backwards into my toe and it shoots pain signals up between the two toes. Hence, the term neuroma. A benign, but painful, nerve tumor. I looked up the pathology report of my first morton's neuroma surgery I had back in 2001!! It was 2.1 cm by 1.6 cm by 0.5 cm!! That is rather large considering the little space it had to hang in and grow (between 2nd and 3rd metatarsal). I don't want surgery again. Apparently there is a new treatment involving injecting sugar into it (prylotherapy) which ends up killing it. However I don't if there is a Dr. around here that does it. Will ask my podiatrist when I see him. Hopefully soon. I am calling for an appt. soon after I finish this report. Anyway!! Did 63 pushups (not easy today for some reason, wrists felt achy and my strength was down. I think I needed some fuel. I hadn't eaten since 730pm last night and it was 8:15am when I did them) Basically I did 14/12/11/10/16 with 70 seconds in between, except the last set I rested for 120 seconds before doing them. Opted out on more arms today. Oh yah I did planks at the rec ctr....60/45/45 x two is all I had time for. But even those felt hard today. Oh well.

Your foot is a mess! I hope you can get that neuroma dealt with. As for PF, been there done that for 6 months, didn't enjoy it. It does go way eventually though, I promise! Keep hanging in there!
