April Showers: Running 4/19 and on

[limewave]

Awesome trail run yesterday. 5 miles. I love running on the trails.

We had scary storms in the area this morning, so it was back to the treadmill yet again... 5 miles, and it was weird that nearly all the ellipticals were in use, but I was the only one on a treadmill.

Tomorrow is the only day this week without a significant chance of rain in the forecast, so I'm planning a Thursday long(ish) run.

I ran for the first time in a week, since I actually rode 4 days last week.
Three miles on my usual hilly route. My left foot has a bunion and it started feeling like I was getting a blister on it , just because I forgot to use Body Glide? There's no rhyme or reason to this, I was even wearing my Tekko socks.
Right shin felt a twinge or two, but with a change in position, that went away.
It's kinda cold (43), gray, and raw out. A bit of drizzle in the air.
I stretched and did my core work afterwards; the stupid foot is still hurting, even though I am wearing my Bjorn shoes.

Just my Tuesday four-miler again. Hot and humid at 8 a.m. I've been ramping up the cycling quite a bit (cramming before the test? ) and feeling like I ought to just maintain with the running, for the next few weeks.

Crankin--Bunions are the worst! They can be so incredibly painful. Hope your foot recovers quickly. I actually had bunions removed from both feet--best. surgery. ever.

I've learned to deal with the one bunion I have; mostly by finding shoes that don't annoy it. It doesn't help that the foot it's on is already almost half a size bigger than the other one.
It feels fine today. I will probably wait until Saturday to run again, though, as it looks like 2 decent riding days.
I just can't face the recovery period from the surgery.

The recovery wasn't so bad. I think I had 3-4 days in bed (I did both feet at once). Because I was in bed and not trying to hobble around, the feet healed pretty quickly. I was able to start swimming fairly soon after that. At 4 weeks I was on a spin bike (with walking casts on my feet). And 10 weeks I started running. I had the surgery right after New Years, I was fully recovered and ready to go by spring.
