Dear James, Daniel and Emily
Got up a little early this morning, got in my running clothes and shoes and actually got out of the house for a run. Which was my first run in over a month. The last time I ran was middle of June. The time off took it's toll: my wind isn't exactly where I want to be, and my legs did rebel some at the end. But by golly I still ran!
I took that time off to let the stress fracture in my right foot heal. And it appears that it did so just fine. I am not going to push it, give myself days off to recuperate, and probably not start an actual program for a couple of weeks. I know that is the smart thing to do and will do that.
I have not yet bought the new padded shoes I want and need. I was able to survive in my minimalist shoes for now, and will just have to stick with those for a while longer due to financial reasons, which does limit my miles, I can do 3-4 miles with sore toes, but that is my realistic limit. And of course it remains to be seen how sore my legs are tomorrow of course.
But all that being said, lots of cautionary notes. The most important thing is that I did get out and run today, and will continue to do so and eventually resume a decent running schedule. And that is a very good thing.
