I think it was the shoes (or at least it was part of the problem)...

I think my foot is finally back to normal. I took it easy last week. I cut out the hills and speed training. I made sure to stretch, massage, and wrap my foot. I took two days off and to top it all off...my wonderful husband agreed to let me get some new shoes! I ended up with my first pair of adidas shoes. They have the fit foam in them and they feel really nice and light weight. I can't believe that for the second time in a row, I decided on something other than Nike. After running in them for two days, my foot felt pretty good. I decided to get up this morning and run 6 miles. I was a little nervous about it since it was my longest distance since injuring my foot. I kept a good pace and my foot felt fine the entire way. With the pain gone, it's time to start getting serious. The Crim is two weeks away!
