Sock tans

Wasatch loop + zoo. I love night runs. This was after a long day of work and running just felt so good. Except, a pain in my right ankle/foot. It was hurting on Saturday as well, but not enough to be a major concern. But today, when I got up on Wasatch (about 3, 3.5 miles in) it started hurting so bad I had to stop. I wondered if it was because I tied my laces too tight, so I loosened them even though they were already fairly loose. That did away with most of the pain. And I was stubborn and wanted to run so I continued with the longer loop. Once I took my shoe off at home it didn't hurt at all, even when I palpated it. Well it only hurt slightly. Hmmm.... Idk what it could be, wish I was an athletic trainer so I'd know lol

Hiked the Living Room trail this morning. Opted not to run to give my foot some rest.

Today I ran with Olivia, she's training for a marathon. She's following a training plan her uncle created, and today was a mile warmup, 2 miles in 18:00, and a mile cool down. We did it in 18:20. 

I would've gone for more afterwards, but my foot was hurting. Not severely, but still above a 6 on a scale from 1-10. I decided to rest it. I'm leaving for Island Park tomorrow, so I might just take the rest of the week off as well to give it time to heal. It might just be a bruise from tight shoe laces, or it might be something more than that, but I want to play it safe. 

Olivia invited me to run the St. George marathon with her and her family. I'm seriously considering it. I was just thinking I wanted to train for something, then here comes this opportunity! But I'm going to sit on it for a little bit, I think I'm manic right now so I don't want to be impulsive.
