My toes are going to make it. I ran a tough/hilly 7k with Mike tonight. Last night, I wimped out of my run because my thighs were burning. I didn’t have a choice tonight. I went to the Nordic Trails for the usual Thursday evening group run.
Before leaving the office I texted Mike to tell him to go on with the others. I would just catch up. Good thing, I did because Mike was the only one who showed up. The nice guy he is, Mike waited for me to run.
We had a nice run. I really needed it to shake off my stress from the day. I was struggling all day to get some stories for tomorrow’s paper. It all worked out in the end – like it usually does. But I am a worrier by nature so I was tense!
Anyway, I am all good. My left big toe is still a sight for sore eyes. I am knocking on a lot of work it will not fail me on Saturday. I am heading to Grande Cache for a final time before the race on Saturday.
Correction: Mike ran a few 1km loops while waiting…and sat on a pine tar laden tree!
