Oh yeah, running.

1.4 miles this morning. Pace still terrible. Feet apparently okay.

Next run: 1.6? 1.8 maybe?

Congrats! I didn't know you were running now. How long have you been at it?

On and off seemingly forever, but I now have a foot problem -- neuromas (benign but painful nerve tumors) -- which acts a lot like an overuse injury. Because patience isn't exactly my strong suit, building up my distance again is going to be a long slow process!

w00t!

Does the pain come on during the run or only after?

Depends on the stray cosmic rays. A month or so ago I would sometimes go only twenty steps before I had to hobble back home. Some days it comes on late in the afternoon of a day when I ran in the morning. Sometimes I get dull pain lasting a few days, and that's how I know that during the previous two or three days I overdid it.

I want a little "Stop Now" idiot-light on each foot. :-)
