It was only a 30 minute, 3 mile run - but I did it! It felt great!!! No problems with my foot! I ran with my Adidas sneakers, which I haven't run in in months - maybe that's the trick. I had switched to a Mizuno stability shoe because I have a tendency to overpronate (and my adidas are just a neutral shoe). I'm going to flush the lactic acid in my legs out tomorrow with a swim and then head out for a 6 miler on Sunday....gotta start building up those miles. I'm not totally in the clear - doubling the mileage could start to rub my skin more, but i'm confident!
On another note - this is the beginning of the time of year when I start to feel overwhelmed. No matter what company i'm working for, September seems to be a busy month for deadlines and workload - i'm also taking a class at Temple starting tomorrow and I really have to focus not only on my training runs, but my strength training and cross training as well (which all requires adequate rest and time). But what really gets me this time of year is the collision of football and baseball - case in point, I have the Eagles preseason game and phillies game on right now - figuring i'd switch to the game on the big screen when either teams offense is up - of course, they're both on at the same time. Drives me nuts!!!

glad to hear the running is going well. i haven't run for a week and half with school and all that shit going on - so yesterday i hit the treadmill at work for a 30 min run, and it was PAINFUL. sucked. i'm going back today, and again tomrorow, and we'll see how saturday goes. i'm going to go to oaks, b/c i know some slower runners will be there. :)
