Training in Montana

5+ miles on the road today at lunch. 76%, 24% humidity. Not bad but I was major sweaty when done. Not San Antonio sweaty, but sweaty. Good run but I probably pushed the pace a bit much just because I could. My legs are a bit sore from Saturday's long run so I was pushing through the aches and enjoying the weather. My left foot hurts a bit afterwards. It's in the arch of my foot so likely it's a strained ligament or something. I felt it a little bit after Saturday's run but nothing worse noting. Today was almost limp-worthy after the Y but now a couple hours later it's feeling better. Guess I'll take it easy until my pacing duties are over.

AP: 8:15

Beautiful chilly morning, slight rain and breeze. Cold hands = pure bliss. Kept it slow and steady, although last mile dipped down to 7:30 pace on a slight downhill. Left foot felt okay but definitely some soreness in the arch when I walk. Wearing my stiff hiking boots at work today to limit arch movement and that seems to be helping. It also helps that my group moved our offices today so we got to wear jeans. The boots might look a little weird with my dress slacks.

Foot is feeling okay, just want to be sure I don't hurt it more before the pacing begins.

Hmph. Been babying my left arch but at 1 mile I felt something weird I haven't felt before. Feels like I pulled something in my foot. Stopped running and walked home. Iced it just now in an ice bucket. That's cooold. Anyone have suggestions on how I should tape my foot for next week's pacing run?
