record distance for me so far!  ran to french creek, tried to run the loop but it was too dark, turned around, ran to days dam, and back home. felt surprisingly pretty damn good.  legs didnt start to REALLY feel lousy till the last 3 miles.  And its not like i was close to hitting the wall. i think i could do another 8.2!

Felt surprisingly strong today.  Usually my legs are super stiff for a few days after super long runs, and since yesterday was my longest ever to date I expected the worse.  However I was pleasantly surprised to find I could have gone even further/faster.  I feel as tho I have surpassed a certain physical barrier. Definitely a confidence booster!

R foot sore. Booo!  Been sore for about a week but really lingered afterwards today.  Iced it in the creek after the run.  Still a little tender.  Its hard to tell whether or not to attribute it to the new shoes.  Maybe i should just take a few days off.   But how many is enough?  I hate the guess work of being a self diagnostician, but im certainly not gonna pay for a damn xray with no insurance.

I can't believe i took 3 days off.  iced and adviled.  im thinking it may have been peritoneal tendonitis rather than a stress fracture, in which i should probably take it easy, but i just cant stand injuries.  Its like taking my drug away, and im going thru running withdrawals and me and everyone around me has to suffer.  gonna try a 5 mile in my old shoes. we will see. 

 

Had a slight dull ache. no actual pain. began approx a mile and a half out, but didnt really get  any worse, in fact i probably wouldve forgotten about it if i hadnt been so tuned into it the entire time, observing it. nontheless, im currently icing it.  i will probably refrain from the advil regimen, i hate taking pills. perhaps will buy some tape to compress later on to get a nice blood flow going into those tendons.  running is directly correlated with my sanity and my sobriety so i am praying that this will pass quickly

what a horribly unproductive week! at least i seemed to stop a potentially season threatening injury in its tracks.  just gotta think on the positive side.  still have a little over a month and a half till the half marathon

Planned to run 20 this morning since im off but i had such an awful sleep plagued with awful dreams, got a late start, thought about letting ryan use my car and doing the 20 anyways but thinking about the possibilities was ruining my run so i cut it short, no regrets. i didnt feel so great anyways, so i will attempt tomorrow morning instead. no foot pain
