The right foot has been sore the last few days, plus I had meetings at church on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I took a couple days off. I knew I should have iced it after my run Monday, but I was tired and ate and went to bed instead. Gotta listen to that voice in my head...sometimes...
I decided to run two easy miles and extend it out to three if I felt up to it. I am pleased with my increased fitness...an "easy" pace for me now is 12-13 minute mile...it used to be more like 15-16 minute mile. I did make it through the 3 miles, but they were definitely slow...40:21. I iced my foot for about 10 minutes when I got back, which helped a lot.
I figure I'll do a short out-and-back on Saturday when I'm out of town (I'll run for about 25 minutes and figure that it will be approximately 2 miles), then do my scheduled Sunday long run as usual. Hopefully that will get me back on track for Nov. 11.
