Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Last week my running schedule was a little messed up because of the issues I was having with my right foot.  However it seemed to calm down on Saturday and I was able to have a really nice run this morning.  Did 10 nice and easy and my foot was feeling pretty decent and I was really relieved about that.

It started getting hot really early this morning, in fact I'm not sure if it ever really cooled down from yesterday.  Had a nice and easy slow 5 miler and wore my brooks pureflow to see how they felt after a long time not using them.  I wanted to see if they alleviated my right foot pain in any way compared to my vomeros.  And I have to say my foot feels way better after this run then the previous runs in my vomeros.  But the pureflows still bother my joints of my large toes, they just seem to rub or be cut in a way that irritates that area.  So now I feel like I have to go back to the drawing board with my shoes and figure out something totally new.  Running the hobbler half in about 2 weeks and hope I can get this figured out.

Got out early this morning and beat the heat.  It was nice and cool and a beautiful morning.  Ran 1 mile down to my friends house, then we did 3 on the canal trail together.  Its so great to have my favorite running buddy getting back into the groove of things after she has had her baby.  Then 1 mile back home from her house.  

Loosened the laces on my right shoe to try and alleviate pressure on that side but ended up making myself get a large blister on my pinky toe.  Guess that did not really help too much with the situation.
