Personal:

Started running in November 2007 to get fit. Now I'm back almost to square one after back surgery. I did it once and I'll do it again.

"In truth, runners don't race other runners. They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares. And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better."  Running for His Life by Michael Hall.

Total Distance
10.20

645AM: 5.52M easy; met Court, FRB blogger, on the corner of Overland/Cloverdale and we ran about 3M together; nice to finally meet in person someone I've enjoyed conversing w/ through the blog and Facebook; I think I went a bit slower than he's used to (conversational pace- 8:35ish); apparently, he's running TOU also; I asked him what time he's shooting for and he threw down the gauntlet and said something like, "I don't know.....just a little bit faster than you I guess;" that was the perfect response; hopefully, we can both benefit from pushing each other a little bit down in Logan; looking forward to the challenge. 

915PM: 4.68M very slow; just had no ambition to run this evening so I jogged it; legs felt fine but my gut was feeling a little weird; don't know how to explain it other than it felt like I had "butterflies"; the only thing of is that its built up stress/anxiety; really odd feeling.

Thanks for the comment this morning, I am tired.

As far as your foot soreness, it might be your laces are too tight. Try loosing them across the top of your foot or changing to an open lace pattern.

Thanks for the advice. Foot soreness gone.

Glad to hear it, been there and done that. Keep on running (don't overheat though!).
