Training Log - July 8

I went for a three mile run today. Had no problem at all with the shin. The new shoes felt great. In fact, my legs felt fresh from the time off and the extra cushioning that new shoes provided really made me think that the shoes might have been part of the problem. (It couldn't have been overtraining, could it?)

I did have a small problem with my foot. I was at my mom's place last week. Every time I'm there the toes on my right foot start to ache, particularly the second toe. I'm not sure why other than the fact that she has a super thick pad under her really plush carpet. It always seems to take a few days to recover from the carpet. Weird.

Now I am faced with what to do with my training schedule. I had been up to 10 milers on the weekends, but have taken some time off. I don't want to reinjure myself, but I would like to do a marathon. I suppose I'll ease into things this week and see how it goes. The half-marathon in August may be a good barometer of where I am at
