Toe issues

Against my will this morning, I got myself out of bed to run.  I even managed a total of 2.36 miles running and 0.67 miles walking.  I know.  Not too impressive.  That's ok.  Before I ran, I walked quite a ways. My toe kept hurting then feeling perfectly fine, then hurting again, repeat.  I've learned better than to run on an injury in training and make it worse.  But, I tried running a bit anyway, and the slight pain only popped up a couple times and very briefly.  It's very odd.

The Podrunner podcast Definitive helped me along today.  It even was coming to a peak right as I was making my final uphill push towards home.  Felt good!  I was thinking about how I respond to listening to music while running.  I have a long history of moving to music beats.  When I was active in making music, my foot would tap the beat, in marching band of course my feet were dropping in time to the beats, and hubby and I also competed for a while at a lower level in ballroom dancing.  It's no wonder that I like to move my legs to a beat!

I had thought of going to a 5k tomorrow.  I'm not sure my feet are up to that yet.  I know I could finish, but I'm not sure it's the best idea quite yet.
