I set out this morning for a 4-ish mile run and had a bit of a tough time. Not only did my sports bra greatly aggravate my sun burn, my my calves felt like the were on fire during the first mile. In my mind, I decided it was because I have been slacking off fairly recently, and my body just isn't used to running as frequently as I'm forcing it to. That could be the case, but it's also a load of crap. Running isn't supposed to be easy - if it were, more people would do it. So voice number two in my head just kept me moving. Near the end of the run, I also felt a strong urge to take a short cut home, justifying it by telling myself that I wouldn't have time to get where I was supposed to be by 11:00. Also crap... just run faster, kid!
Anyway, in the end, I was quite happy that I stuck with it. Although, that pain in my right foot returned near the end of the run, located just below my big and second toes, which I suppose is the ball of my foot. I also felt some strain in my second toe. I'm going to pay extra close attention to that little guy.
I shall leave you with a lovely view from my run:
Coes Reservoir Happy Tuesday, all!
