Recovering from micro-fracture surgery :(

Two, three mile repeats.  Just under 8 mm.  MISERABLE.  I thought I was going to puke.  I wish I was in better shape!

Beautiful day!  I ran 8.4 with my friend Cheryl that I will be going to Boston with.  We met at the Smith's on Bengal Blvd and ran to Pepperwood and back along Wasatch Blvd.  It was a fun run.  It kicked our butts! ha!

Ran 1 mile with my 13 yr old.  I am trying to get him to exercise instead of play on the computer.  He doesn't have many friends so the computer has taken their place.  It is kind of heartbreaking.  There is only so much of a friend a mom and dad can be. He is training for the Bryce Canyon Half in July.  We are starting slow.  I hope he can lose a little weight and start to enjoy exercise along the journey.  

I'm not really sure about the milage today.  I might be more like 23??  My Garmin and my friend's weren't accurate since we both turned them off a couple of times and forgot to turn them back on. ha! Whoops!  

I ran about 21 with my friend in the morning and a little later in the day.  We started in Holladay and ran to Sugarhouse Park and around a couple of times and up through the Country Club and back to Highland High for the drinking fountain and back to Holladay.  I wasn't dead at the end of the run and another 5 would have been fine.  :)

Does anyone else have this problem???  My feet are so sore!  I am not injured, but I have been afraid to run the past two weeks because my heels feel bruised and the sides of my feet hurt and the tissue in my feet is tender.  I think all of the pounding is just a bit much on my poor feet!  I have run 2 X 18 milers and 2 X 21 milers now, not to mention all of the teen long runs in between.   I was planning on running 8 to 10 tomorrow, but I think I am going to let my feet heal a bit.  I REALLY don't want to have an injury this close to Boston!!! Any advice?

I have been trying to eat high nutrient foot.  I have been blending tons of mixed greens, flax, berries and trying to keep my diet really clean and good.  I have tried to be a vegetarian and vegan before, but I just didn't feel good at all.  My body needs meat!  I try not to eat too much meat and keep most of it organic.  I always use and eat organic eggs.  Any advice on eating before Boston?  

Another problem....I am terrified that I am going to turn into diarrhea lady durning the marathon.  I haven't had a problem with it this week (thank goodness), but I have lately been so sick during and after my runs.  The harder or longer they have been the worse it is for me.  Yesterday's run was great and I didn't have any problems, I am hoping for the best on race day and not hitting a POP every few miles!  Do you take any kind of Pepto or anti-diarrhea medicine  before a race or long run?  I am such a novice and I don't know how I qualified for Boston.  I am not a real runner, I just love to run! HELP :)
