So after taking several rest days to help the inflammation in my foot, I went out for an easy 4 miles today. I have to say after 2 miles I could feel the discomfort in the arch of my foot, but it never got worse.
I felt pretty good running, despite those glasses of red wine last night. I think the plan for the next week until the day itself is too do shorter runs and see how the foot responds.

Aiming High
Aiming high today, trying a back-to-back run to see how I feel and how the foot feels.
Headed into Newton and tackled the hills, in total I ran 6 miles. It was a rainy day, I remember in the past avoiding running in the rain but now I have to say I find it invigorating, and today it did revitalize me, I guess too as I have not ran much this past week that just getting some mileage in felt good and long overdue.

Marathon Sports 5 Miler
So it has been a full week since I ran and I feel like I rested my foot well, the inflammation seems to have gone done, but there is still alot of discomfort there at times.
Headed out with some Luna Chix, Conor and some of his friends to run the Marathon Sports 5 miler. I took part in this event last year, but did the 3 mile fun run.
Great run today, headed out fast for the first two miles, slowed alot and then in the last mile found some reserve in the tank. I felt that had I gone out slower my time could have been better. I did however still PR with a time of 43:51, with a 8:47 pace.
My previous 5 mile times were not that fast, so definitely pleased despite my week dealing with my foot and anxieties about not running, I can still come out make a PR and keep moving forward.
Enjoyed running with Conor too for a bit, it was quite a while since we ran any distance together. His time was 41 minutes, so I was not too far behind him. I must pick out a race for us to run together after the marathon, would love for us to do a half-marathon together and off course be the first to cross the finish line.
We have a competitive little thing going on with half-marathon times. He holds the record, but me being the runner in the relationship, I would love to hold the record even for a little bit.
