Tonight’s run was 5 min run 2 min walk times four. I did okay. I struggled some. My foot hurts. It’s tolerable, but noticeable. I don’t notice it as much when actually running. That’s when I’m mostly focused on breathing. But after the run, there it is. I’m going to ice it tonight and see how it feels tomorrow. May have to make an appointment with a podiatrist soon if it doesn’t start to feel better. Distance tonight was 1.85 miles at a 15:10 pace and burned 155 calories. Then it was PIM appreciation night at Luke’s Locker. They offered a 20% discount, so I got two pair of socks and two shirts. Socks are very important when running. You can’t just throw on any old pair of socks. Cotton is not your friend. It holds moisture and can cause blisters. I got one blister from a pair of cotton socks on a hot day earlier in the summer, and I have never made that mistake again. Good running socks average $9 to $15 a pair, so getting them at a discount is nice. It’s funny, when I buy stockings for work, I get a box of 10 pair for $5, but I will spend $9 on one pair of socks. I think I have more running clothes now than I do work clothes. Running clothes are fun. Work clothes, well, not so much.
