I have a dentist appointment at noon so I ran a little longer than normal this morning. I did a solo loop through Orem, basically down to Costco and back. The temperature was in the high 20's. I averaged 9:00/mi for the 8.5 miles. I must be cold blooded because I sure seem to have a hard time getting going when it's cold. Still, the legs felt pretty good. I'm feeling a little PF and mild neuroma in my left foot, but neither of them really interfere with my running. I'll have to keep an eye on them. I hope my body hasn't started to fall apart. I'm going to the dentist today because a tooth broke off while eating popcorn last week. I must have already had a root canal on that tooth, because it hasn't hurt at all. Both my parents wear dentures. I come from a long line of bad teeth. I'm also going to an orthopedic specialist this morning to have him look at my right shoulder. My adult son had his right shoulder scoped earlier in the year and they said he had a congenital defect in his shoulder bone. They ground off a small hook on the bone. I've had chronic shoulder pain in my right shoulder for years, but it has recently gotten worse. My dad has also talked about having chronic shoulder pain. I'm curious if I have something similar to what my son had, but mostly I just want my shoulder to stop hurting.
