Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
3.13	0.00	3.13

It was 56 degrees and a bit muggy this morning. I decided to give my foot a try this morning. I ran 3.13 miles slow, not because I wanted to but the pain would definitely increase with the speed. The pain was probably a 6 or 7 but if I went fast it was more like an 8 or 9. I stayed on the soft shoulder of the road as much as possible and that helped as well. It feels better when I am going up a slight incline and hurts more on a decline. I need to find a long, gradual uphill to run on.

I am icing it right now and we shall see what happens. It does not hurt any more than it did before my run so I am hopeful.

Bill, really don't run on it will heal faster. Take the advice from an idiot who wasted training trying to run on a injury. It will only get worse. I would go to the gym and use the Elipticial or pool running.

I'm not being critical I'm just concerned and trying to help you not make the mistake I did.

Side Note: I'm running Leg 2 of Bone and Back next week the one that goes up 1200ft in 5 miles. In your opinion is it gradual or steep all at once?

Kory,

I know......I'll be careful.

Unfortunately I do not have a gym membership. As for the 2nd leg of the race next week it is a LONG, continuous hill for almost all of the 5 miles.
