Morning run, Moonlite, Temp 40'

To many low mile weeks in a row are adding up.  I feel like I'm losing fitness every week.  I thought I'd feel great this morning but my body didn't seem to want to go to fast.  I decided to force a fast mile and did one in 5:56 to get my body going. 

I was going to go 7 miles but after 2 miles my foot gave me a little of the old pain I've been trying to get rid of.

Noon run, sunny, Temp. 55'

Near perfect running weather, decided to do a 3 mile tempo run.  3 fast miles hurt.  Why do I do it?  Anyway I must run weird on my left foot when I run fast because the muscle on the outside of my left shin gets tired as if I've used it until it is dead tired and then I start flapping my left foot which can't be good for it.  I have to slow way down or stop and let it recover for a minute if I want to run without flapping.  I should just give up running and get fat.  Luckily I saw Cal and ran with him for the last mile.  That helped my form to run with someone.

Noon run, partly sunny, temp 65'

Since I ran fast yesterday I was going to take it easy and enjoy the nice day.  I had run my 1st mile in 8:10 when I heard footsteps coming up on me.  Low and behold, Cal was running fast.  Forgive me Paul but I couldn't help it.  I picked up the pace and ran the rest of Cal's tempo run which was 4 miles at about 6:31 avg.

Noon run, windy, sunny, temp. 40'

Today & tomorrow need to be recovery days.  With two fast days in a row and playing basketball last night my legs were glad for some slower miles. 

My middle ball of foot toe pain is still around.  The pain is very mild, however, it seems every day I run on it it gets a little bit worse.  If I take a day or two off then it is almost unnoticable for a day or two.  It doesn't feel like it can take much more than 5 miles a day.

Morning run, a few sprinkles, temp 40-45

I didn't run yesterday because my foot was hurting and I had to much work to do.  I felt pretty good today.  My foot didn't bother me at all until about mile 4 and it never got bad so I kept on running.  I found a better song to sing while running than Sasha's Bingo song.  Instead of saying the line from the Peter Pan movie "I believe in Fairies, I do I do"  I sang, "I believe in running, I do, I do".  "I believe in PR's, I do, I do." etc...

Also I was wondering as I ran by the new South Jordan Temple if someone could organize a Temple marathon were we would run by both South Jordan temples and the Draper temple and if there is enough distance to hit the SL temple.  The T-shirt could have a scripture on it and pictures of temples.
