Feeling Better

Yesterday I felt much better than Wednesday, the extra rest really helped. I ran 4 miles on the bridge in the afternoon, and took it a little slower than Tuesday's run. I'm still not fully recovered from Sunday, the right knee is a little tender, and my left leg is still tight, especially my calf muscle. I'll make sure to stretch everything very well before I head out again this afternoon. After my run yesterday I examined my ogre toe and noticed what appeared to be a blood blister in the spot where the toenail had been removed. It's drained and being treated with hydrogen peroxide and bactricin until I can see my podiatrist on Tuesday. Hopefully she can patch me up enough to keep my marathon training on track. (After White Rock she's free to hack on my toe all she wants while I recover.) I've got extra time built into my training plan, so if I have to train a little easier for a week or so it's fine. Thank goodness for the toe cap, b/c when I run with it on, I don't feel anything on that toe.
