Through a completely random selection too! (New Jersey lottery, here I come!) I am turning cartwheels (at least, attempting to) as I wait for the book. Thanks a ton, Felice.Meanwhile, there's been a slight set-back in my running routine. At the gym, I did 3.5 miles on the treadmill on Monday. Hoping to make it to the BodyWorks class immediately after, I recklessly cranked up the speed and ran 9 minute-miles. I did make it to the class for an hour of solid core work and weights, but after the workout, the tendonitis in my left foot started acting up some. I am not in pain, but the area from shin to top of the foot feels sore. I gave it some RICE and TLC yesterday.
Today was my scheduled long run - 12 miles. Instead, I tried a slow 3-miler. No pain, but the soreness still bothers me. I usually don't chicken out on long runs...but knowing how the injury developed the last time, I feel I'd rather be extra cautious.
Tomorrow, 12 miles is on the cards...but only if my poor foot can handle it.
So, I'm back to being slow as molasses again! Run Faster from the 5K to the Marathon...I've never needed you more!!!

Hope the foot heals soon! I've got a bit of a problem with my Right heel at this moment, so I know the frustration.
I'm so sorry to hear about your foot. You are doing the right thing. I also have foot problems and I find that massaging it helps too. Breaking through all that tightness makes me feel new. Good luck! Congrats on your cool new book too :-)
good luck with your run!

The book is on its way!

The foot's a lot better, thank you. All the icing helped.
