It rained all yesterday and spat rain today. I wanted to give the new shoes another try, but considering I might want to exchange them, I didn't want to run from home and get them muddy. So, I drove into town to do a free run on the paved trail. It was just spitting a really fine rain, which was okay as long as I was running, but then after my cool-down, I really wanted a dry place to stretch. But every gazebo and sheltering tree on the path was occupied by hospital employees smoking on their breaks. So I went back to my car, grabbed my rain jacket and draped it over my head while I stretched.

I laced the shoes up tighter today, and didn't get any arch pain, but I'm still getting a lot of Achilles pain. I think they're going to have to go back Hopefully I can find a more structured pair of Mizunos with the same fit, because they really feel good on my feet.

I ran a couple of errands, went home, and about a half hour later is when my alarm went off to remind me of my aerobics class tonight I'd forgotten. Well, I'd been saying I ought to do more two-a-days. (And my class went okay too )

5.25 miles, kind of slow, but I was also trying out a new water belt.

Colby, heal up quick! Fuji, hope the news from your PT wasn't too bad and that you heal up quickly as well.
