  • 4 easy running miles
  • 5 moderate elliptical miles
  • strength training

I went to 24 Hour Fitness this morning and did a little strength training then jogged two miles up 21st South to watch for Teena and there she was!  GO TEENA!  Then I jogged back down to the gym where the course passed again and waited for Teena to come by.  She looked so great.  You did so well Teena!

My foot felt better, still niggley, but better.  And now I'm pretty sure I know what hurt my foot...my worn out shoes.  I don't know why I didn't learn from last time.  I wear my shoes out so fast on the outer top part of both shoes so I really can NOT go past 300 miles.  They are so worn out right there...no padding whatsoever.  Last time I went past 300ish miles, the same thing happened to my peroneal tendons on my left foot.  I figured this out when I looked back at my garminconnect and I said something about my shoes.  It feels like all the bones and tendons are crunched and bruised when I walk, so it makes sense.  So anyway, I should not have ran the 16 and 18 milers in those shoes.  So I bought two pairs of shoes on www.runningwarehouse.com (they were having a closeout on the shoes I was looking for so I was able to get 2 pair and even with 2, the price was STILL $20 cheaper than at the running store for ONE pair!!!).  Hopefully that solves the problem!

** I haven't given up on Ogden yet...I think I just may be able to pull it off as long as I keep being careful!

Darn shoes! I'm glad you figured it out - now let's just recover well and hit Ogden! I'd love to run it with you, if we both make it :)
