Skipped a 6 mile run yesterday because I wasn't feeling ver well and there was alot going on at home.  Decided to do that run tonight at James' practice and forego the 4 mile casual run this week.

Put in 6 miles on the treadmill but ended up having to push a bit harder than I wanted to in order to get all 6 miles in before the end of practice.  Resulted in some soreness and tiredness in mile s 4-5, but felt really good in mile 6.... even picked up the pace a bit at the end to finish strong.

Foot pain is lingering, but not much of an issue when I run.  I'm wondering if the impact of the running is causing the issue to persist... 

On a side note, I bought some bodyglide, some foot powder, and some sweat wicking socks to go along with the running shorts I picked up last weekend.  Looking to do whatever I can to get ahead of any potential negative symptoms of all of this running.  

Disappointed to miss a run this week, but excited/nervous for a 10 mile run this weekend.  I don't know that I've EVER run 10 miles in one session, so this will be a nice little milestone to hopefully be able to cross.

Slow and steady, baby.

6 miles - 52:38 - 8:46 pace
