On the Road Again...

...after a nice week off after Steamboat, I finally hit the pavement again. (WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT) I ran Steamboat last Sunday, and by Tuesday I ended up pulling off my toenail on the toe next to my big toe on my right foot. It probably would have taken a few more weeks to fall off on its own, but I wanted to speed up the process so I could get back to training for a PR at SGM sooner..and besides I was in recovery mode anyways, so taking a few days off running was no biggie.

Ran w/ Eric at lunch. 3.1 miles. Felt pretty good, even though it was hot and humid (from this day forth I'm not going to complain about the weather..yes, it IS HOT in Texas. I will add weather details to my blog, just for historical data gathering.

Temp: 86, Wind: S 12 MPH, Humidity:60%

ewwwww! at least you warned us but I read on any way! did your toe bother you today?

From MarcE on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 00:06:29 from 24.155.140.8

Nope the toe was fine. It looks a little funny, but the painful tenderness wore off a couple days ago. Maybe spending a few hours swimming yesterday helped the healing process.

Wow that is warm for sure. And I complain about the humidity. I am just not really use to it is all. They just make them tougher down in Texas.:)

You must have to hydrate like a beast in conditions like that, I couldn't do it.

I'm putting my money on that PR at SGM. Do you have a specific goal time?
