five miles

Well after taking a week off to try and heal my leg and toe I went running tonight and I felt pretty good. I had lofty dreams of going ten miles tonight but by the time I got to five I decided not to push it harder than I should and I needed to get to bed because have to sing in church in the morning. But I did post my runs to my blog finally and I am a little embarrased because I run SO slow. I had no idea! My shadow seems like I run a lot faster than that! I still run with a slight limp I can tell but I found a store that I think I can go in and get some help. It is New Balance and I am a little weary that they are going to pimp their shoes on my but they said that they could help me figure out what might be wrong. Anyway I am going to try and go in this week. I felt pretty good tonight though and my leg didn't hurt too bad. I do have a bunch of ibuprofen in me and I am going to take some more before I go to bed and hopefully that will keep the pain to a minimum but we will see. I am feeling a little down because I feel so behind but I don't know what else to do. I feel like I am doing my best and I am going to keep pushing forward and we will see where it takes me. I honestly don't know if I can catch up to where I need to be. I haven't done a long run since the six miler and that was quite a while ago. I couldn't even completely run the five miles. towards the end as I would reach a uphill I had to just walk. As long as I was going flat or downhill I was in pretty good shape but as soon as I hit those hills it was all over. I am trying though!
