I actually ran 8.34 miles today at an overall 7:17 pace in 1 hour with no pain. Although, the wind was terrible and it was snowing and it was icy, and I fell twice. Both my knees were scraped up and one was bleeding, and they are very sore right now. One of them I know is going to be black and blue. The temperature was 10 degrees with the wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph. Considering the wind chill factor in today's morning run it made it -2. Good thing I'm off work today to let the knees rest.
Good news is my foot never hurt the whole time, and it feels good after the run. I have another acupuncture appointment today at 3:45pm. I believe it helped my foot on the first treatment. I really should have ran at the gym today instead of outside. It was really a bad move on my part. I really hate treadmills though.
