I concluded I needed to hike up a mountain (17k) and run an additional 16k the next morning for my foot to feel better. Yes, I defied doctor’s orders.

I’m crossing my fingers the pain does not return. I am taking a full rest day on Monday. I think I deserve it.

I had a great run with Delaine, Jen and Loni this morning. I admit I didn’t want to go. I was counting on Delaine to bail, and it turns out, they were expecting me to bail. But we all showed up. I didn’t push myself so it was an easy, breezy run. I am going to try to meet them this week to run 18k. I don’t mind the distance when I have some one to chat with now and then.

Actually Delaine and I talked the whole way while Jen and Loni suffered in silence. After our post-run coffee, I rushed how to shower and get ready for my date with Sara. We had a light snack at the Japanese restaurant. Then it was off to the movies.

Great weekend.
