Finally, feet feeling fantastic-ish

For the first time in nearly a week I am not leaning on ibuprofen or a prescription anti-inflammatory to get me through the day or night. I've made it 24 hours without them and I feel 95% great. I still don't know what's wrong with my foot, but maybe it was just a strain or something relatively minor.

So today I'm going to run my prescribed 5 miles and see how it goes. This is supposed to be an "easy" run, which I usually run at about a 8:15-8:30 minutes per mile pace, but I might take it a little easier than that depending on how my foot feels. And if there's no further problems I'll do my speed work tomorrow, which is never all that much fun even if it's necessary.

I'm hopeful this injury "crisis" is over. So my next post will probably be about how much worse my foot feels. Ha.

12 days to my next half marathon, and counting.
