Nothing Good to Report

Well I made it out last Wednesday for what was supposed to be my 4 mile run around Natures Way.  I wore sneakers just to be safe.  I didn't want to go before I even got out of bed.  But somehow I managed to get dressed and get out the door.  It was probably because David was urging me to go with him.  I made it two miles - at one point there was a small hill and it just killed my lungs.  It was very muggy out so that may have had an affect on me as well - not that I am making excuses because I am not.  After the uphill area I had to start walking.  I just didn't have it in me.  After that my left foot started hurting me again.  That same spot on the top of my foot.  I had to walk the rest of the two miles.  Each step was very painful.  David looked up my issue with my foot and we think it was the fact that I have never done barefoot running and I just strained my foot.  I took a week off a few weeks ago but we read that it could take up to five weeks to heal.  I think I am going to wait for five weeks, see how that goes, and then return slowly.  I have my sights set on the half marathon in November.  I don't want anything to get in my way of that.  I also want to get Chloe ready for her first 5k in June.  I am going to get her started on the Couch to 5k Plan. I am excited for her!! I will keep the blog updated with her progress!!
