Hit a huge milestone yesterday - 10 miles!!! 10 freakin' miles. And I ran six before having to stop and walk for a few minutes. So I finished, but I'm not gonna lie, there have been more fun times in my life. Like, everything. I may be a runner, but I still don't like running.
However, I must say that it's absolutely astounding how well I can run when I don't drink the day before. Well, not astounding - I run like 12 minute miles. Still.
P.S. I got new shoes that are half size bigger than normal and my toe doesn't hurt anymore. Vegas, bring it on!

My toe hurts!!
Aughhh!!!! My toe is killing me. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it really hurts to walk today.
So after the past few long runs, I've been noticing that my third and fouth toes on my right foot get sore. No big deal - my right foot is a tad bit bigger than my left, so I just figured it's pushing up against the shoe.
But I did three miles yesterday and now my fourth toe is hurting to the point where I can't walk properly. This SUCKS. I am staying off it today, but I was supposed to do five miles tomorrow. Yikes!!!
Not sure what to do - I feel like a total loser with a freakin' toe injury!

Well, it's been awhile....
Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing well! I've been slacking on this blog a bit, so sorry. I hope everyone is getting ready for our trip!! I can't wait!!!!
I ran seven miles on Sat., taking advantage of the warm weather! It was kind of hard. Up till now, I have been running only twice a week (a short run and a long run) and I really should be doing three or four times a week.
My plan for this week is: 3 miles today, 5 miles Weds., and then 8.5 miles on Sat. before I leave for Charleston. Next week will be difficult, as I will be in South Carolina through Weds. for a business conference, but I just need to force myself to get up early one day and run a few miles in the hotel gym.
No injuries or any other major challenges thus far, though my fourth toe on my right foot bothers me after long runs. I do this weird thing when I run where I clench my toes to the ground, so they're always sore the next day. Super random, I know.
I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for running seven miles. I NEVER thought I'd reach that far in my life. I realize that's only about half of what we will be running in Dec., but hey. Progress is progress!
