My eyes still cannot believe what they are seeing for the total miles today. Somebody pinch me.

Well things did not go well with my work schedule yesterday so I had to skip the run. My plan was to do my best today to make up some of those lost miles. I figured my legs should be fresh and today would be the best day to run extra.

I woke up early and did a nice 5 miles. Ran past the donut shop and was glad I was not carrying any money with me. I certainly would have stopped for a few jelly donuts to take home and enjoy after the run. After showering and eating I went to my son's preschool. His class sang 3 songs in the church. They did pretty good for a group of 4 and 5 year olds.

This afternoon I set out for 10 miles. I wanted to run by feel, but I think my slow and relaxed pace has become faster by about 10 seconds or so. So going by feel I was running faster than what I planned. But I felt good while doing it.

Now all of the above was the good news....here is the bad.

The ball of my left foot still hurts when walking. Hardly noticeable when running. And now my right foot, just above the heel hurts. This had only been hurting while walking the last few days. But it hurt the whole afternoon run. It was not enough to effect how I ran though. When I get some more time I need to look this pain up.
