remember how it's training season again?
yep yep.
well, i set my official 1/2marty goal:
i want to run it in less than 2 hours
which means 9 min per mile or less
which is 30 min quicker than last year
i can do this!
well, i had a slight setback:
wait katie, do you really consider horrifically ugly toenails a setback....?
no no, stop looking at those -- focus on my purple toe!
oh, right right.

enough of that selfersation.
[ooh, new made-up word for the win!]
ok but here's the deal:
a guy with cleats at a church football game had an encounter with my poor little phalange.
fact:
i haven't run in a week and a half
other fact:
i feel grumpy about it
[need a shot of endorphins, please!]
[...endorphin sounds like a type of dolphin]
other other fact:
my toe is no longer purple and swollen, but it is still sore
and yet another other fact:
i will be lacing up the running kicks again this evening
it's go time, kiddos!
wish me luuuuuck...
About once every two years I re-injure my left foot, usually as a result of over-training and not replacing my running shoes often enough (you'd think I'd learn my lesson). I hurt my foot again two weeks ago and I won't be able to run for a least another two (maybe more). It sucks.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Toe injuries are the worst. Hope you're run goes well tonight!
ReplyDeleteholy cow, girl! you and chantal, i tell you...those ward football games must be vicious!
ReplyDeleteOur sisterly minds must be connected. As soon as I read the word "endorphins" I thought "Thatsounds like a it's a dolphin" and then... I read your next sentence haha
