Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
13.26	0.00	13.26

It was 60 degrees with some wind this morning. I stretched really good and decided I would try to go 10 miles today if my foot felt up to it. I kept myself within 2-3 miles from my house...just in case. I ran 13.26 miles and my foot did fine. Towards the end of the run it was actually fatigue that bothered me more than my foot. That's what happens when you do almost no running for over 2 weeks. The pain level was a 2 at most and sometimes I did not even notice it. The run was pretty boring since I kept running back and forth on the top of Satterfield from miles 5-12, but I finished just fine. I need to get used to running in warmer weather now.

I put this on the wrong day...this was my Tuesday run

Asics 1130 (Zinc) Miles: 13.26

Bill,

I know it will not take you very long to get back to your fitness level. This break might even help you to be in better fitness. Something go think about.

Great news. I should have joined you this morning and kept you company.
