Friday was supposed to be a run day. I did not run. Sorry. Do I have a good excuse. No. My excuse was I was tired and it was Friday. That is the best I can do. You will all have to forgive me. Thanks. My run was on Saturday, through my neighborhood. I felt like a real runner for just a little bit.
Distance: 1.5 miles
Weight: didn't check
Results: My right medial knee was sore later in the day and is just very slightly sore on Monday morning as I write this, but this is just barely. More than anything, my left foot was getting a tender spot/blister just medial to the 1st MTP joint. This caused me to run in the grass next to the sidewalk rather than on the sidewalk. This was on an area where there should really be very little ground contact. At least not enough to cause a blister.
What I Learned: The rubbing on the inside of my left foot might be due to a lack of extension of the 1st toe. I have noticed it is limited compare to the right 1st toe. I can imagine how this would cause my foot to roll just a little more inward and cause extra friction on a portion of the foot that should not really be in much contact with the ground.
When it comes to my knee, I'm still not sure. The soreness is nothing bad, so I will just have to slowly continue and see how things go.
Plan: Try to run Monday night, likely after the kids are in bed.
