yesterday was such a crazy day and i have been so exhausted all weekend that i am so glad it was only 7 miles in the am. clint was kind enough to drag his hiney out of bed to drive amy and i out to the beach again so we could run home. we started at the border of cardiff and solana beach and ran to amy's house. we ran a pretty good pace - averaging about 9 min miles on the downhill, 10 on flats, and 11 on uphills. i think our total time was about 75 min. everything was good and fine (although it was really hot for 7 am) until about mile 6 my right foot started hurting. the past few weeks i have noticed that my 5th metatarsal (bone on the outside of your foot that connects to your pinky toe) starts to hurt after i run, but i don't usually notice it while running. anyways- i thought i was going to have to stop, but managed to make it through the last mile. i'm not really sure what to do about it, i need to do some research on what helps. i've heard cushier socks?? any one else know what i'm talking about or what to do? anyhow- i may take it easy during the week this week just to make sure i don't kill my foot just a few weeks before the race (a month from yesterday, by the way). i do still want to do 11 this coming saturday, so wish me luck.
and about mid-week posts - i will probably continue just because it helps me to be accountable. i think i'd be more likely to fudge it if i am not writing after each run. but whatever works for you guys. please don't feel like you ever HAVE to write.
