Today, I had my third good run in a row. I was surprised, because I had expected that the heat, humidity, and sleep deprivation would work against me. I did return to my regular route, starting from Valley Green Inn. I tried to start slowly, but I hit the half-mile mark in 6 minutes flat. In fact, so consistent was I that I ran the first mile in 12 minutes, the second in 11, and finished the entire run in 44 flat.
Right now, I’m in a holding pattern. I’m still experiencing some mild pain in my left foot up to about one-third the way up the inside of my left leg. The pain, however, doesn’t afflict me when I run. So I plan to continue running four miles four days per week for a while. I expect to get my new orthotics any day now, and I plan to maintain my current routine while I get accustomed to them. Then, if the pain is gone, I hope to work some five-mile runs in regularly. Stay tuned.
