Foot hurt, so ran in the Kinvaras

RUN 10 miles in about 1:35

I started out in the Adrenalines but just 0.48 in I was back at the house to change shoes. Even though I'd trim the outer edge of the orthotic, it still hurt. And after just a short distance, it hurt to even walk. I tried a little more, to see if my foot could relax, if I could find a good form, if I could just keep going.

But I didn't want to abort this run too, so I decided to go as far as I could in the Kinvaras. So far I'd only run 4-ish miles at a time in them, so this was a gamble. And it was trading one problem for another--without the orthotic my toes can go numb and hurt. I pushed aside my usual all-or-nothing way of thinking (I can only run 4 or 5 or 6...it doesn't have to be 0 or 10).

So out from the house again. It was a gorgeous day, high 30's if not low 40's, full sun, little wind. Let's ignore the big winter storm rolling in from the mountains.

In the end, my toes did hurt. It was kinda on then off again, as most pains are (excepting the stupid pain from my orthotic...) and didn't linger after the run at all. In fact, I felt pretty damned good after the run. No soreness, good energy, and more confident about whether this injury was gonna hold be back on the Fitty. I'm not fully happy and 100% confident, but at least I'm more confident.
