On June 17th, I twisted my foot somehow. This wasn't something I did by running, but rather by walking. It took me about 2 weeks for my foot to feel good enough to the point where I felt comfortable running on it. My first run after the injury was a month ago.
During this time I had a slight fall off the wagon. I was still running, but I found it harder for me to motivate myself to get out the door. So my mileage slipped. I was running about 20 miles a week, and after my slip-up, I fell more into a 8-12 mile a week average.
Since I still wanted to work on my new found hobby, part of the reason why I created this blog was to keep myself motivated and visually track my progress.
Now 1.5 months since my look foot miss-hap, I finally am back up to a 4 mile run. 2 more weeks I expect I will be back up to 5 mile runs. I really want to set my base at a 20-25 mile a week average. Once I can maintain this for a month or two, then I will start training for a half-marathon.
So there you have it! Tonight I ran 4 miles ---- and I felt great! PLUS my vibrams are still holding strong and my feet are not sore today!
