Since everybody is asking, I’ll just answer the question here. \u00a0It’s easier that way.<\/p>\n
The swelling was completely gone this morning. \u00a0It’s not now, but it was before I started my run.<\/p>\n
It is chilly here in Mississippi. \u00a0We are at 42F. and have a pretty stiff wind. \u00a0Being the sissy I am, I elected to wear Capri’s and a long sleeve tech shirt. \u00a0I just wore a visor on my head. \u00a0No gloves or anything like that. \u00a0I thought that would keep me a little bit too warm but I hate being cold, so out I went.<\/p>\n
I ran a north\/south route today. \u00a0I made two passes. \u00a0I had planned to do three, but after the second, decided it would be smart to stop there. \u00a0When I was running south, I was averaging a 10 minute mile. I had the wind to my back and I was zooming right along. \u00a0The temp was comfortable. \u00a0Not too hot and not too cold. \u00a0Perfect!<\/p>\n
As soon as I turned back to go north, though, that wind smacked me in the face. \u00a0My pace slowed to a 12 minute mile and I froze! \u00a0Man! \u00a0That was cold! \u00a0The entire run, I did not break a sweat. \u00a0I am not a fan of cold weather.<\/p>\n
Enough of my complaining about the weather.<\/p>\n
My foot was feeling pretty good! \u00a0I was moving well and loving being out on the road again. \u00a0I had a few spots on my body that were saying to me, “You’ve been sitting, doing nothing for an entire week and now you want us to do what!?!” \u00a0I told those spots to button it and just do what they were supposed to do. \u00a0Eventually, they shut up and things were going great!.<\/p>\n
On my way back on the second pass, there is a section of road where there is a sharp slant to the road. \u00a0I usually run smack dab in the middle of the road there because that angle kills my knees and feet. \u00a0Today, however, a Co-op semi decided that was the time to drive down the road and forced me to run on that sharply angled part of the road.<\/p>\n
My foot said that was a bad idea.<\/p>\n
I was already on my way back towards the house to begin my last pass. \u00a0I was probably a half mile from the house? \u00a0Maybe a little bit more. \u00a0Doesn’t matter…I paid attention to my foot on that last little part there and it really started to object. \u00a0Rats.<\/p>\n
When I got back to the house, I decided it would be pretty stupid to do another lap if my foot was starting to squabble with me. \u00a0So, I stopped. \u00a0I decided that 5.30 miles on my first day back was an okay run. \u00a0I would have liked to run further but, well, I’ve done a lot of really dumb things in my day but decided that another lap was not going to be one of them.<\/p>\n
I still am planning on running that Half Marathon on Thanksgiving Day. \u00a0I’m going to need to dot my i’s and cross my t’s if that is going to happen.<\/p>\n
To answer your question, I think my foot is doing well! \u00a0There was just a tiny bit of swelling after my run but I expected that. \u00a0It’s not super sore or anything, I mean, I can tell I ran on it and all, but it’s not killing me like it was a week ago. \u00a0I’m going to consider this run a success.<\/p>\n
On a totally different subject:<\/p>\n
We got the bees winterized yesterday. \u00a0It was a good thing, too! \u00a0It is 30* cooler today than yesterday. \u00a0Their top super (big box…hard to explain) were at the most 3\/4 full. One was completely empty. \u00a0That would have spelled disaster for them living through the winter.<\/p>\n
MFH (My Favorite Husband) took off the top supers and extracted the honey. \u00a0We had talked it over before he did this and took a different approach as to how we were going to get the honey comb up to the house.<\/p>\n
The comb is here in the house. \u00a0However, the new way we did this was a fail. \u00a0We didn’t lose any honey or anything like that, we just brought a ton of bees into the house. \u00a0They are everywhere!!!<\/p>\n
I need to figure out a way to de-bee my house now.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, we have Italian (a “breed” of bee) bees and they are not aggressive, otherwise, we would be in a lot of trouble! \u00a0#AdventuresInBeeKeeping<\/p>\n
