lucky number 7

i'm back in full swing and it totally shows in my long runs. it's like i start and my legs remember and just start doing it on their own. 7 miles seriously never felt so easy.

after my 5 mile run last week, i had some pain in my foot and outer calf and i started to worry. that's the area that was aggravated during training for my last half that kept me sidelined for my 10 mile race. that's the area that prompted me to finally get orthotics. and now that i have them i worried that they weren't working. but i'm trying to be mindful to start my runs slow, stretch at some point during and stretch reeeealllly good afterwards. 'cause i certainly don't want to make the same mistake twice.
