Back in the Game Once More

Yeah!!!!!   It's been a good day.  Went to the podiatrist and he says he doesn't see anything wrong with my foot,  He pushed my toes in all directions, he twisted and squeezed my foot.  Everything seems fine.  Whatever caused the pain is gone.  Perhaps IT WAS those foot exercises I did.

After the appointment, honey and I went out for brunch, a stop at the thrift store, and then home to get to work.

After dinner, I could wait no longer.  My old running shoes (soon to be replaced) were calling me.  Nice cool night, perfect for a short run.   So off we went to the park, a few minutes of light stretching and then I started my run.  I had planned on running a slow steady run at the usual 6/1 intervals, but I couldn't do it.  I just couldn't.  It felt SO GREAT to run that I just kept running, never did any walking intervals.   2.45 miles, not bad for my first run in three weeks.

Tomorrow I'm making a trip to the running store to get evaluated and get the new running shoes, and hoping to get out for a longer run this weekend.
