I headed out into the cold alone this morning. About a mile out, my right foot suddenly started hurting. So much so that I stopped, walked carefully for a bit, and did some light stretching. It started feeling a little better, but rather than continue farther from home I turned around and headed back towards home. After 1/4 mile or so it was feeling fine so instead of continuing home I began to wander some of the streets west of my neighborhood. As I was heading north on 280 W I saw a dog that looked like Larry's dog Ozzie...then I saw Larry. He had come out about 20 minutes after me and decided to run the route backwards in hopes of meeting up with "us", which ended up just being me. We ran together for a bit but his GI tract was acting up so we headed home. This morning's run didn't go at all as planned, but I got my 4 miles in, got to talk to Larry for a while, and finished with no foot pain so it was all good. |
