We almost had the whole band together this morning. Shan, Steve, Sam and I did the Mopac/ I35 loop. We were only missing Mark L. this morning. Things are back to normal after 6 months of missing Shan and then my 2 month layoff. We all had such a good time this morning. We are so damn fortunate to have each other. I'm glad that we've all put in the effort to keep our connection strong.
On top of us all being back together our run was great too!! Our time was 1:09.36!! I'm super happy with that!! Steve and I led the way for the 1st 5 miles having a good chat and then the last couple it was Sam and I together while Steve and Shan caught up. I was fairly successful in focusing on my belly breathing in between talking. Another very positive thing is I've had zero issues with my feet since I've been back running. It seems I've made a good adjustment with the tape placement in my Spenco inserts for the neuroma in my right foot. I did get the over the counter orthotic Tuesday and have been wearing that in my everyday sneakers. They are the very best over the counter orthotic made and the pedorthist added a big buildup for the metatarsalgia/neuroma in my right foot and also for my left foot too. I'm feeling like I'll be able to run in them soon but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to take them back in for an adjustment on the left foot. It's just too much of a lift in that foot and, I have no real need for any buildup at all in that foot. One of these days I'd like to throw down the 300 bones it would cost to get some custom ones made!!
Last but not least the plantar issue in my right foot seems to be under control. I'm off the regular ice and Ibuprofen for a several days now, and, I've been doing a ton of stretching throughout everyday and some stretching while I sit on the side of the bed before I put any weight on it in the morning. I'm going to continue wearing the sleeping boot indefinitely I think. I've gotten pretty used to it. Well folks, that's my story and I think I'll stick to it!!
