I was able to leave work at a descent hour, and it was still daylight when I got home, so I decided to do a little running.

I took out the insoles of my regular running shoes and put in some Wal-Mart purchased orthodics. Gave me more space in the toes, but I need more cushioning near the ball of the foot. Nevertheless, I pushed on with my calves screaming. I was in pain and tiring fast with the extra weight and extra clothes (still chilly here in New England). But it felt good to get out there. The air smelled fresh.

Just like when I was running last year, I would count down the last mile

Five Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Feet.

Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty Feet.

Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Feet.

.
.
One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty Feet.

One Thousand…and Fifty Six Feet

.
Five Hundred and Twenty Eight feet.

Beep beep beep!! Done!

And in 32 minutes. Thats about a 10:40 mile. Not too bad. Felt winded, but proud.
