Steady 10
04.17.09
Up bright and early on Thursday (thanks BJ) for my 10 mile run. I had some very familiar, not so comforting 4 metatarsal pain on Saturday and Sunday of last week….little sucker is jerking me around…so I took a few days off from running to rest it. By the way, it’s healed….like I said just jerking me around a bit.
This was a good move although taking that many days off from running left me with slugglish leggers for my run yesterday. They felt like lead stems and my feet little balls of lead. I embraced the way I was feeling and did my best to stay light on my feet. I loaded ‘The Shack’ audiobook on my ipod and headed out the door just before 7am. It was drizzling and cold, overcast and wet…I loved it, felt like a good ole’ New England day. I love these days, so much so that I pretend I’m back on Cape Cod as I channel in some seawater smells. It’s a fix, what can I say? It’s the best I can get right now for ocean time and I”ll take what I can get.
Today is a swim, short run and massage from my boy Todd - my brotha from anotha motha.
