2 weeks to go

The taper has begun.
I was supposed to run just 9 miles yesterday (funny that I say only 9 miles).

I was in North Olmsted, Ohio again. Chris and I headed into town for the surprise birthday party of a friend.

It was a perfectly cloudy and cool Sunday morning and I was really looking forward to my run.

However, a mere 2 or so miles into my run my left foot started bothering me. It was a little sore - pulled muscle feeling after my 8 mile run during the week - but hadn't bothered my since then... what the heck???

So, with only 2 weeks to race day I turned myself around and headed back home.

I iced and elevated it... and today I swam instead of running.

I'll play it by ear this week... I'm not due to log all that many miles anyway...

I just want my foot back in top shape for the 18th!
