I had absolutely no motivation to run today. I just wanted to stay inside and veg out. I’m wishing I did. I hurt my foot during my last six-miler. In fact, I think I sprained my foot. Sounds odd, but I have shooting pains in my foot about every few steps, and after I ran today– the pain got a lot worse. It hurts to walk. I’m quite nervous about this injury because we’re supposed to run 12 miles on Saturday and I want to do a good job.
I also need to start stretching after runs. Sometimes I’m so happy to be done, I forget. Patrick is much better at remembering to stretch. Plus, I ran on the road and I think that’s a lot harder on my feet. And, I ate a big meal earlier today. I waited a couple of hours before I ran, but it wasn’t long enough. I felt the food sloshing around my stomach and I cramped up bad. It was hard to finish running and I just wanted to lay down afterward. Luckily, when the run was over, my stomach quickly recovered.
I’ve got my mind set on Saturday’s 12 miler. Wish me luck!
