Guess what! I'm back!

No formatting tonight, just a quick update. In the last few months I've been waiting for my toe to get better. Right about the time that my right foot stopped hurting me, the index toe on my left foot started hurting. The best me and my doctor could figure was that I was favoring the right foot by taking more strain on the left, which caused the toe to eventually start hurting.

Anyway, the custom orthotics I got were part of the solution, along with a little pad for the front part of my foot, and more time to let it rest. It's taken a while, but my toe has been pain free for a couple weeks now, which is how long I wanted to wait before I tried running again.

So I went out tonight for a short 2-mile run. The weather was prefect - about 60 degrees and slightly breezy. I ran my normal pace and felt pretty good, given the fact that I hadn't run in so long. A little sore, but nothing abnormal. I'm very excited that I think I can finally get back into a regular running schedule again!

I tried tracking the run, but it was having trouble finding the GPS satellites, so it didn't work right. Anyway, 2 miles, about 22 minutes.

My first scheduled race is the Shamrock Shuffle 5-mile (8k) run on April 10th, and it looks like I'm on track to be ready for that. Yay!
