Today was MISERABLE!! First I got up later then I had planned, this is not totally bad... I think sleep is good. Then I have been needing new shoes for a while. I looked at the bottom of them yesterday after my run and I have now worn through the harder black bottom layer and I'm starting to wear off the softer white cushy stuff on places on the bottom of my shoes. My goal today is to get some new shoes!! So I pulled out a pair of older shoes that I still had in my closet... I looked at the bottom and they seemed to still have a bit of running left on them. Big mistake not looking inside them before I put them on!!About 3 miles into my run I could feel a pinching feeling on my heel... by mile four it felt like a white hot poker on my heal!! I don't know why I kept these shoes... they were the ones that gave me a huge blister... and now I have another one :( Took off my shoes about a block from my house and ran stocking footed the rest of the way...I should have done this earlier, it felt so much better then the shoes LOL. Garmin was acting up this morning so the mileage is a guestimate, and I'm clueless of the pace... It was painful so I'm sure it was terribly slow. To top off this lovely run about 1/4 a mile to the house I starting with tummy trouble. I was lucky though, there was some construction on the road I was on and they had a port-a-John. I'm blessed/cursed to have no sence of smell so they don't bother me :) The curse of no sence of smell... my garden is blooming so pretty... wish I could smell the lillies I cut and put on my table. So I'm chalking this run as done... and moving on and tomorrow will be better! Now I'm going to go weed the gardens, and feel the grass between my toes!
