stopped me in my tracks

Wed, 9/1-

Raining. Went to Mountainview Park for a 5-miler instead of the track for an interval workout.

Midway through the run, an unleashed dog stopped me in my tracks. ARGH! 

Decided not to look at my watch for this easy run. Wound up running 40:00.

Mon, 8/30

Ran 4M across the neighborhood around the Y and CVS. 32:45

Podiatrist told me that I have arthritis in BOTH big toes, not just the right one. He wanted to know what in the world I had done to damage my feet so badly. X-rays showed bone fragments or other sediment around my toes. He pulled my right toe in such a way to create space in the joint and gave me a shot. I also "won" a subscription to ibuprofen. Surgery is not out of the question.

Sun, 8/29

Met up with the crew at GA. Hemmed and hawed about the workout. Eventually settled on easy pace 6x400 in about 80 (about date mile pace).

80, 81, 80, 79, 78, 77. Realizing we could do more, we accepted Lorraine Jasper's request to do some 200s in 38 with her. 38, 38, 37. Andrew and I decided to turn the fourth one into a 400, landing a 74.
