Morning run, temp 68

I have an appointment at lunch today so I decide to get up early and do a morning run.  My nose has stopped running but I still have a litte congestion in my chest.  Hopefully, that will be gone soon. 

I decided to run as I felt with the hope of pushing the pace a little.  I felt pretty good so I had a good run.  If I didn't have a little chest congestion I'm sure I'd have run a little faster.

Time 50:38,  Mile avg. - 7:14

Terry I hope that cold is gone entirely for you before your relay.

You mentioned your toe/ball-of-foot thing you had in the spring. Even before you mentioned it yesterday I had gone back to your spring entries to read about it since I remembered you had some troubles that might be similar to the dumb thing I have.

Sounds like in your case it was in the middle foot where mine is right behind my big toe. Also sounds like yours was bad enough to keep you from running, or maybe you were just smart enough to take some time off and not push your luck.

Being the stubborn fool I am, I usually keep running through my injuries (albeit very slowly at times) unless the pain gets worse during the run and/or it feels worse the next day after the run. So far this pain for me doesn't bother when I run and seems to be actually a little better today than yesterday so maybe I'll get lucky.

I need all the luck I can get between now and Oct 4.

My behind the middle toe foot pain was caused by new shoes that weren't meant for my foot. I was able to run on it with low pain for awhile but then it got bad enough to shut me down. If it starts getting worse take steps quickly to get it fixed. I guess the idea isn't to push it until it shuts you down.
