Friday 1/20/2012

Good news.  My toe didn't hurt at all throughout the day today.  I used yesterday's Thursday mile to guage my toe's readiness.  I was excited this morning to wake up and not feel any pain.  I actually forgot about it until I left the house this morning.  :)

Work was kind of rough today.  I couldn't wait to lace up the shoes and hit the pavement.  I'm glad I did too.  I feel great!  Running has helped me tremendously with the "stresses" of daily life.  After a run I feel energized and it feels like the stress rubberband has been loosened a bit too.  It's nice.  Doesn't make sense as I read through again, but I'm leaving it.  It's how I feel....and that's better!

I was only going to do another mile tonight, but decided to do a slow paced 5k and focus on my toe, seeing how it felt during the run.  If at any point it would hurt I was going to just walk back, but it never hurt.  In fact  I ended up turning in a 40:52!  My best time being a 40:37.  Not too bad, considering I was focusing on my toe and how it was feeling the whole time, I never looked at the stopwatch.  I had my headphones in so I never heard my splits as I achieved them, (my iPhone says my splits out loud) I wasn't going for time even!  :)

Workout below....
