Today's Run

I did not have the desire to run yesterday, so I was lazy and ate too much. This morning, I did not have the desire to run, but I knew that I would have to force myself. My original plan was 2 complete loops at Stanky Creek, but that sounded like a really crappy idea at 0900 this morning. OK. Change of plans. One loop at Stanky and then hit the treadmill at the gym with my lovely wife. Sounds better.

Once at Stanky Creek, I opted to add the Outhouse loop for an extra mile. I am glad that I did this! I have never run the Outhouse loop prior to today and really enjoyed the change of scenery.

Two hours and 9.11 miles later, I removed my VFF's to find an nasty blister on the ball of my left foot. The combination of the VFF's and my new stride seem to be placing undue stress on the balls of my feet. I am hoping this will improve with time.

Another 6 miles at the gym (2 stationary bike, 2 treadmill, 2 elliptical) brings my weekly total to 35 miles. Three days off this week has killed my mileage, but my body needed it.

While running, I took oodles of photos. You can view there here: http://picasaweb.google.com/ultramike67/StankyCreek
