| | Ran in new shoes today thinking the pain I felt on the top of my foot yesterday (for the last half mile) was due to needing new shoes. It is my right foot and I was able to run about 1.35 on it this morning until the sharp pain on the top of my foot came back. It felt as though I shouldn't step down to hard or I would break something. Sounds like possible small stress fracture??? I walked back, and felt it the entire way home. After sitting for a cup of coffee on the deck, I was able to walk without feeling it at all. I will take some rest time, hoping to heal whatever is going on. I am trying hard to listen to my body in efforts of being a life long runner :)
|
| | Took time off and road my bike, did yoga and rested my foot. Felt fine today - Hopefully I’m good to go again! 8:52 AP |

Last two miles was struggling with right knee/possibly i-t band? not sure, but I slowed my pace to a 9:50 for the last two miles - overall average pace today was a 9:25 - feel pretty good about that. I will stretch, roll and epsome salt bath tonight - take tomorrow off. Ready for a full week of being back to work!

Spokane Happy Girls Run (13.1 Miles) 02:14:32, Place overall: 61, Place in age division: 12 | | Course changed from two years ago to add three more miles of trail running - that became a bit technical. Many up's and down's - my legs felt trashed by the time I reached pavement at mile 10.20 - I did indeed walk the last three hills in those three miles. Hardest run I have done to date, but feeling so acomplished! Trail Running is not for the faint at heart. There were 260 participants, so I am happy to have placed 61st without training on trails. Twice this summer while camping apparently wasn't enough :)
