I haven't run for a week because my foot was sore.  Stuff gets sore now and then, and unless the pain is sharp and/or seems to proclaim a reoccurring issue, I usually run through it.  However, I'm now heavy and sort of loose-jointed in general (thanks, relaxin), and I didn't want to mess around, particularly since I could feel it while walking.  I stretched and did more yoga--it felt like things were sliding slightly out of joint, so it felt possible to ease things back into joint and keep them there.

Fortunately, it's gone now and I jogged a bit on the treadmill this morning.  4 intervals, each the length of a different music video.

Which leads me to a long-delayed shout-out: hope you're doing well, Old Free Treadmill.  Prior to our move, the TM rode away in a Habitat for Humanity truck along with Old Free Dining Room Set and Friends, and hopefully it's now helping another family get/keep fit.   Now I'm using a treadmill in the fitness room of our apartment complex.  Wish they had fans there, but it's still considerably more comfortable than running in a Southern garage without A/C.

As for running outside...my sleep has horrible this past week and I just can't get up and out before 7, ok 8, and the weather hasn't been cooperative either.   Slightly hotter slightly later morning temps haven't been a big deal for walking, but running is a different matter.  I need all the help I can get! Fortunately, the weather forecast actually promises sub-23 C later in the week.  I can't remember the last time I felt that outside.  I'm hoping to wake up before the sun, open the windows, and air out the place...and then have an enjoyable run.

9ish weeks to go!
