I decided to skip the treadmill and try the roads this morning. Due to icy roads, cold weather, an extra stiff hip, and the fact that I'm in recovery mode, I ran at a very easy pace (about 11:00/mi) with the two main goals just getting up early and out on the roads again, and getting a little more time and distance on my recovering feet.

My feet felt good, but at the end of the 5.5 mile run I could tell my right foot had had enough for today. There was no pain or numbness, just enough of a message to remind me that I should continue to avoid doing too much too soon.

I can't remember for sure, but I think I ran 5.5 miles on the treadmill on this day.

I planned to run later in the day this day, but things got busy and it never happened. That's why early morning usually works best for me...not many unexpected scheduling conflicts occur at that time.
