Today was slightly better run then yesterday, but still was not feeling my best. Got up pretty early but it took me a while to feel like I wanted to even try to run. I did get new shoes yesterday... had to go to two stores to find some asics in my size, they only had the more expensive ones so I was disappointed, but I knew that I had better get some because my heel was really starting to hurt. I'll ice it today also. I ran a longer loop from my house, when I got to about 4 miles my tummy started to bug. I knew there was a park at the bottom of the long hill I was on, when I got there it was locked so I chased the guy on the lawn mower around til he saw me and could unlock the door. He was soooo painfully slow walking back to the restroom, I don't think he felt the urgency I was needing him to feel. When I was about 1/2 a mile from my house there was a runner on the road coming the other direction. At first I thought it was a lady but as they approched I realized it was a guy.... Fabio LOL he looked just like him. He was wearing tight short shorts, tight tank top, almost like a unitard LOL and a long blond pony tail going half way down his back. It was a sight right out of a romance novel... if you are into that look LOL!! Anyway made me laugh to myself a bit. 8 miles- 1:14:57 Average pace 9:15
