Only did 1/2 mile today because the foot started to hurt. Had a thought while I was running: Maybe I should try getting new shoes and seeing if that makes a diff. I've put 320 miles on them. Usually I'm good for a bit more, but I've never run so many treadmill miles.

Anyway, it's worth a try, and while I'm at it, I'll ask the guru at Body 'n Sole for his thoughts.

Then I did 35 minutes on the elliptical. The one I used yesterday made my calves sore for some reason, so I used a different brand of elliptical today.

After I did abs, lower back, and lat pull downs.

Planned on running only a mile today, but my foot felt decent. I stopped to do a class--an ab core class. It was pretty good.

Tomorrow I will get my new shoes, but I think I am only going to lift and do the elliptical. I don't really have a plan in place yet for getting mileage back up because I'm going to see if new shoes help.

Got my new shoes yesterday. Tried them out today and I'm optimistic. Hopefully this will take care of the problem. I think I have another 4 weeks or something on my gym membership so I will start running outside late Feb. I may just have to not run so many miles on the treadmill.

Today it was -9. Tomorrow it's supposed to be more of the same. We didn't have school today and none tomorrow either. Snow days are one of the perks of being a teacher.

I wanted to do the ab core class today but it was cancelled. If I had known that, I wouldn't have waited until the p.m. to go to the gym.

Instead I lifted--legs, abs, and lower back.

So far, so good, but I think I'll keep in the 3 mile range for at least a week. Did 1/2 hour on the treadmill.
