Interesting thing this morning, I was out for a run and just happened to arrive at Winona Lake Park just a couple minutes after a 5k down the greenway started. I ran past and the clock said something like 2 minutes. I was just about ready to quit at about 7 miles but I thought why not? And kept on going. It was a pretty slow 5k by my standards, but I finished it in around 32 minutes and made it to 10 miles for the run. Found out a bit later I should have quit at 7, or maybe even before. For one thing, my left ankle was feeling like it was really chafing across the top, and the toes on my right foot felt like they’d gotten wet. After the 5k end as I was walking home, I stopped in at Green Earth Multisport to look at the new shoes. As I took my shoes off, I noticed that 1) my left ankle wasn’t chafed where I thought it was and 2) my toes felt wet because one of them was bleeding. So, it not being a good time to try on new shoes or socks, I took my leave. Worried about developing tendinitis in the left ankle now. Sheesh. Anyway, tonight I’m headed to Indy to catch a plane for Phoenix. Beth, however, is not coming with me. We had to very quickly change the plan for the weekend, which was for Beth and me to go to Phoenix and Alex and Missy to stay with the Monsmas while Natalie stayed with Mary Jane, but instead Beth is going to stay home because Nat was admitted to a behavioral health clinic last week.
