Well, THAT was the most pathetic run I've had in months. That's what I get for not running for two weeks.
J and I have been focusing on body weight strength training lately. It's been going well. But having exhausted legs from lunges and squats combined with the brutal heat we've had lately has made me very disinclined to run. It isn't even so much the running outside that is the problem... the problem was coming home to an oven. We now have an air conditioner so I am going to try to run on my off days from strength training. I'm also going to start doing the later weeks of the C25K program because I really want to be able to run 5k by my birthday in a month. Consider the fact that the last time I ran, I almost ran 2 miles without stopping, I still think it is doable.
I also have been feeling very discouraged by my lack of progress with my foot. The running doesn't seem to have made my foot worse... but it doesn't seem to be helping. I feel like I haven't left square one, and I don't know if my foot is going to be okay for the rest of my life. If my foot bothers me this much when I am walking around with a ten pound backpack on my back, how will it be able to support me when I'm carrying a baby? Perhaps after a year of wearing Vibrams, rather than a few months, things will feel different but I'm just not sure.
So, let's see. I ran two thirds of a mile tonight at a little under 6 minutes. Blech. Need to eat more, and run more.
