I got in 5 miles at LBL this morning in a failed attempt to see how my foot would react to the repetitive nature of running the crushed granite. As I headed up the hill to the UT rowing building I could feel the knot in my right foot rebelling. I immediately turned around and headed back to the footbridge cursing myself.
My drinking has now affected my running when I need my running the most. Sounds about right. Got drunk at a pool party, stubbed my foot on the concrete edge of the pool and after all these months and miles it's hurting. I knew it (my drinking) would catch up with me sometime, I guess this is it.
All is not lost though. I can still run trails. For some reason the uneven and varying nature of the trails is mostly okay for the foot.....thankfully!! What the foot issue takes away is the Thursday morning tempo run that we've been doing for 2 1/2 years. It was a great time to get together with good friends for some camaraderie and pushing some physical limits.
I'll probably be getting drunk this Saturday.....but I'll keep my shoes on.
