Comments I don't know if I've ever been as lost as I was today. I thought I would try exploring some new trails, then an hour later I popped out in the town two towns over with no idea how to get back. It turned what was supposed to be a 12 mile run into a 17 mile run--my longest since February. The one upside was that the trails I was running on were great!

Comments Ran in Hutchinson, Kansas while at a conference for work. There was a mall near my hotel, so I did four loops around the perimeter of the parking lot, then ran in town a little bit. Finished with 10x100m striders.

Comments Great run. Heat index of 113 today. Felt better than I did the other day with Fleish, despite the heat. Ran into Georgetown, then down along the Mall and back up 12th. It's been a while (15 weeks?) since I've done this run and a few things have changed, most notable is that the park on Wisconsin and K Street is almost finished. Picked it up a little in the last two miles.

Comments Good run today. Ran the old Van Ness loop through Rock Creek Park. Was a little worried that the hill would hurt my foot, but it wasn't bad at all. Except for the fact that I crawled up it (due more to being out of shape than anything else), it felt pretty good. It was extremely humid today because of a storm last night, so it was uncomfortable despite being only 84 degrees. Longest run in five months.

Foot felt fine, but it was very hot.

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 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.
