Comments No pain today. Still getting used to these clunky orthotics - they make it feel like my feet are splayed out to each side. I think I just have to get used to them, but it feels like the arches are too high, despite the fact that they were molded to my feet.

Had to take Petters to the vet today, but everything is ok. Vet told me that it was a classic case of a dog ingesting "DC sidewalk crud." She's on some medication for a while, but should be fine in 24 hours.

Comments Good run. Humid. Tendon didn't hurt nearly as much as it did yesterday, and I picked up the pace a little today, so that's a good sign.

Ran in the t-shirt from my first open race - the Midsummer Night's Dream Run 5k, July 31, 2002 (I was 7th in 19:20. Kellie Hasselwander was 18th, Lisa Cole was 33rd http://www.fleetfeetsyracuse.com/dreamrun/SCHOOL.htm ).

Comments Out and back in Rock Creek Park. Felt good, but felt a little twinge in my foot around mile 3 while going up a short, but steep, hill.

My foot hurt on Monday after a day of walking around Chicago in work shoes, so I took a few days off after that trip.

Comments Ran out to the buffalo and back (3.5 miles), in addition to one and a half times around the block with the dog to make it just over 4 miles. I'm surprised at how quickly (7 min/mile) I was running. It wasn't hard, but it definitely wasn't easy. No foot pain. I started to get a little stomach cramp at one point, but that was probably due to the spaghetti I ate before the run.

Comments A little longer run today. Felt better, but was a little sore (sadly) from the run yesterday. Went out to 17th on accident instead of turning up 16th, which added an extra little bit two my two mile loop.

Comments My foot is finally healed! It felt so good to throw on my running shoes (now with custom orthotics) and get out the door, even if only for a mile. Tomorrow I'll push it a little further, I just wanted to make sure I'd be pain free after today's run.

I can tell I have a ways to go before I'm back in shape. Even on this short easy run I could feel my lungs burning a little. Foot felt fine, though, and that's all I care about.
