That little run on Thursday had some lingering effects that carried over to Saturday's run. The weather was nice enough to get outside to run for the first time since the beginning of the month, so that part was okay. Snow still covered most of the sidewalks, especially along the main roads. On 96th Street I hopped onto the curb every time a car came by, and although most were respectful that I couldn't run anywhere but on the road, there were still several jerks who made a point of staying in their lane. Given the overall low regard I have for KC drivers, none of this surprised me. Anyway, I planned on a 6 or 7 miler in order to enjoy the sun and to get into a mode of having a "long" run again.
Unfortunately, the blisters on my arches from Thursday, which I had immediately drained, were still sore. Within twenty minutes or so they were well on their way to becoming hot spots again, so I wisely shut it down at three miles. My heel was also hurting again mildly. Since I'm traveling the first couple of days this week my hope is that this down time will allow the blister spots to heal and my heel to also recover before my next run on Thursday. And that one will be on the treadmill, because we're supposed to get a nice blast of snow about the time I'm due back in town. *sigh* Yep, still longing for a warmer climate.
