Psalm 91:1 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place

This morning after a nice snow storm yesterday it was very icy, and  the streets were covered with snow to  some degree.  I ran 10.34 miles at an overall 7:16 in 1:15.  My foot is still a little sore but nothing that's bad to keep me from running.  I have sort of a pain on my left foot on the side of the foot.  I'll have to monitor it, and take care of it as well  Oh well God is good all the time.  You have to bless God through your curses and success.

I woke up again not feeling the greatest with a sore throat, coughing and spit up mucus.   Also have a headache for the last two days.  Yesterday I got my chipped tooth fixed at the dentist.  I broke a portion of the tooth off last week.  The dentist (a running buddy) said the ultimate fix would be a crown, but he said a filler would work, but that can't be guarantee to last forever.  I decided to have the filler done.

20mph winds that made the temperature at 6 degrees this morning.  I ran 9.12 miles at an overall 7:13 pace in 1:05.  I cut one mile short to keep it easy on the feet.   I still have pain in both feet, but as I mentioned not enough to keep me from running.  I'm going to see a foot doctor sometime this week.  One that was recommended to me.

Started running this morning in 15 degree weather with a mild wind according to the www.weather.com.  But this is a run I want to forget.  I never really felt that great in the run.  My rhythm and stride were just off.  I've been fighting a cold and sore throat and that  really hindered me.  On top of that my right foot is back to hurting where I was limping after the run.  But that's not all the adventures that happened in this run.

At mile 11 I decided to do one more mile to try and work out the sluggish feeling and finish strong.  I started on the last mile and ran behind an old abandoned Albertson's store.  Suddenly, has I was running I tripped, and did a face plant right on the pavement.   I got up and realized my lip was cut inside and a few cuts on the forehead.  I immediately got up and headed home, but I was dizzy and my vision was seeing sideways all the way home.  I think I'm suffering from a mild concussion, because I still feel dizzy typing this at work.  Anyway, I'll monitor my health and will see a doctor if it gets worse.

 I ran 12.31 at an overall 7:19 pace in 1:30 up the Satterfield hill loop.  Today I was trying to keep things slow since my rhythm was off, and I wasn't doing well on the run anyway.

 

Ran a somewhat painful 4.63 miles in 32 minutes on the Home Treadmill this morning.  I didn't want to run too much to give my foot a break.  This will help if I decide to run 13 miles with Barry tomorrow.   My foot is definitely hurting like it was before.  Once I get done with the run I limp pretty much the rest of the day.  I know I should not run, but I want to run up till my doctor appointment Monday so that he can see what's really going on.   I'd rather see him in pain and no pain if I rest it.  I did run at a 5:56 pace for about 4 minutes and that actually felt good.

I was woke up by my phone at 1am this morning with a problem with one of our system being locked up so I did some testing and had to do a system reboot and fix other program process issues that were not starting up.  I never did get back to sleep so I waited till 5am to get ready for Barry's to come and do our run.

Ran 13.51 miles at an overall 7:16 pace in pain. Ran the last mile faster at 5:ish pickups. The pain was the same like yesterday so not any better maybe a little worse.

Ran 8.1 miles today at an overall 7:13 pace with Barry.   Foot still hurt with same amount of pain.  We ran a sort of hilly route from Mink Creek to Indian Hills then on 4th street.  We started out with the Pocatello running club group and we turned off because they were doing 18 miles.

It's depressing to see other runners healthy and not my, but I did keep up.  Temperature was in the 20's but very windy when we started after 8am right at the Pocatello gap area.
