Interesting run yesterday.
It began with my daughter JR and me walking for 2 miles. She used to love to run and exercise. Then she had a series of health issues that has kept her from doing much in the form of exercise for the past few years. So, I thought I could walk a couple of miles with her each day after I get home from work and before my run.
I got home, put on my running clothes, said goodbye to my Lovely Wife and we headed out for our walk. It was a very nice time of walking and talking. It was in the low 90s, but the humidity was low, so it wasn’t too hot during our walk.
After we got home, I headed out for my run. The interesting thing is that it was the first painless run since my marathon. It was only 3 miles, but that is also the most miles I’ve run since Sunday. Also I ran 9:16, 8:51 and 8:17 pace for an average pace of 8:48 for the three miles.
When deciding whether to walk with JR before or after my run, I decided to walk before to see if it would help warm my muscles up for my run. That seems to be exactly what happened. It was so nice to run without issues and run relatively fast for the heat of the day.
It was a great day, until…
I was heading out last night to get some milk and jammed my little toe into a wall on my way downstairs. Needless to say it is hurting this morning and I don’t know if I will be able to run on it today or not.
Still I am thankful for the fun time with JR and my great run. Life doesn’t get much better than that!
278 to Boston 
It’s unfortunate that we don’t recognize and appreciate them often enough, but it’s the little things that make life so awesome 🙂
Very true!!! 🙂
Darn the milk. Is crying over a hurt toe due to milk the same as crying over spilt milk?
Sorry. In a silly mood this morning.
Good question! Ha. Silly is good. Anything to keep us smiling. 🙂
I’ll bet you feel good at having a pain-free run in the bag! Before the tie incident of course – hope that mends itself soon.
I feel so much better. Thanks. I will be interested to see if I can run this afternoon or not. Should be interesting!
This made me smile, even with my injury not so far behind me and not running full miles yet, I often forget how lovely it is to just walk. Sounds like a wonderful time with your daughter! 🙂 And holy ouch! I have done that and my heavens it hurts.
It really was a great time. Just a walk around the neighborhood. So simple and yet I think it produced a lot of results (for her and me).
Awe yeah, walking can be amazing especially with family or friends. 🙂
Great Idea. I’ll remember that for next month. And spending time with the daughter is the best part!
Totally. We walked again today. It was really nice and does get muscled warmed up well for a run. 🙂
I love running or biking with my dad, we have the greatest conversations when we are out together 🙂 and stubbed toes are so painful, it makes no sense how such a little things hurt so much.
I was afraid I broke my toe, but it seems to be okay. It is amazing the pain from such a little toe. 🙂 Walking with my daughter was great fun (other than the blisters she got).
