Decided to wash my sheets this morning. Not like they didn't need it (weeks ago), but in putting them back on the bed after drying, I kicked crap out of the ottoman with the left fifth toe. It hurts and its a bit swollen, and wearing shoes and socks makes it hurt more. But running didn't make it hurt more, so I got out for an easy 7 miler. Yes, it hurt every step of the way but I didn't do any damage, and the run itself was OK. Now to soak it in icewater...

Took Monday off with my bruised toe. Felt a lot better today although still sore and I managed an easy 7 on the SHS/horseshoe loop.

Billat intervals x 24 at the track. Cut the cooldown short because it was getting late and I needed to get home and get ready for work. Legs felt pretty good but I don't think I could have held the pace much longer. Toe was OK but still sore.

Hilly miles, starting on the Free Ferry/74th Street loop. After track workout yesterday, I didn't have much left for those last three miles or so, but got 'em done. Kinda scary that I'm running 26.2 fast in, what, 53 days? Lotta work to be done in that time.

Easy, slow and sore. Really tempted not to run at all, but got out and did it. As usual, the first half mile was the worst.
