Since I joined the blog, I have never had a month where I didn't miss at least one day of running.  In June, I had not missed a single day... until yesterday.  I thought about going running, but decided against it.  My muscles have minimal soreness from Saturday, but the top of my right foot has a somewhat worrisome, acute pain.  I decided that running streaks exist to help us run and get better.  When we keep a streak going only for the streak's sake, even though it will likely do more harm than good when flirting with an injury, then it is silly.  So I took the day off.  I may run later this week, I may not- depends on how my foot feels.  But just coming off the longest race (time and distance) of my life, I have a lot more to risk injury-wise than I have to gain fitness wise.  My next race is in 6 weeks, so I have plenty of time to recover properly.  I will be conservative.

I decided my recovery was over and it was time to get back to work.  Picked up Cody and we did about 30-40 minutes of pool running (3 cross train miles).  Then we ran 6 mile landfill loop, about 7:30 pace.  Felt good though I could tell I had a few days off.  My foot did not hurt at all during the run, although it still bugs me at other times.  I don't think it is skeletal (I hope).  Easy runs Fri and Sat, then back to at least 60 miles next week, pending no foot pain.  Good to be running again, though the time off was nice.

In Idaho Falls for the weekend, so I was able to run with jtshad.  I always look forward to our runs.  We did just under 12 miles together, kind of just cruising around town and the river.  Very quiet, peaceful morning- most of the people are still asleep, resting their ears and eyes from the amazing firework display they do here.  Good run with him- started off pretty fast and gradually slowed a bit.  Stopped by his house, then I ran back to my car with a small loop around Community Park to try to get around 13 miles.  Nice day out.  Thanks for the run, Jeff, and enjoy staining your deck!  1:35:31.

My week of R&R is over- next week I plan to be around 60-70 miles, depending how I feel, then up to 80+ for the rest of the month.
