I was entered to run in the Wisner Leprechaun 5 mile run but could not because of my foot. The Race Director was kind enough to send me the shirt anyway!

.
Official diagnosis - Possible stress fracture of the 5th Metatarsal. They can not tell for sure if it is an actual break until 2 weeks when the bone growth will show on the xray. He said I have all of the signs of the stress fracture so they are treating as if it is indeed broken. I will go back in 2 weeks for additional xrays. but until then i get to wear this glorious 6 pound boot/cast.
I wouldn't mind the boot/cast so much if I could find a way to still run with the dang thing.

Wednesday - 3/17/10
Training plan: Run 4 miles. Warm up and cool down.
Warm up/cool down - 1.3 miles
Running total - 4 miles @ 43:11
Grand total - 5.3 miles
Well.. There is good new and bad news with this run. I ran 4 miles in a new best time of 43:11 but probably broke my foot. It hurt while running, progressively got worse, and then at mile 3 it was flat out awful. But I did keep running. I knew that if I broke it I would not be able to run for awhile, I was really doing well on my time, and just didn't want to stop. I ran 1 more mile to reach the 4 miles in my training plan. The walk home was not fun at all.
Today has been a heck of a day.. I broke my foot and Addison lost her first tooth. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

OUTSIDE! OUTSIDE! OUTSIDE!
I am so very happy to get to run outside after such a long winter and such mind numbing training on the treadmill. It was nice to hear the birds, see different sights, and just be outside. It was still pretty chilly but that was so much better than my basement.

Warm up and cool down total - .42
Running total - 3.1

Ran 3.1 in 34 minutes. Not a great time but I am happy with it since I was in a hilly section. I am trying to not be as afraid of hills and run some every couple of runs. I dont like them and they do like me but I know it will help my overall training.

Run 5k.
Back home in Omaha and the weather was finally somewhat decent so I was able to run outside! It really is amazing at how different it is to run outside vs inside on the treadmill.
Ran 5k in 32:47. The time was not as good as my last 5k race but I was still happy with it. Due to traveling I had not run in 3 days, I was back out in my hilly neighborhood, and did not have enough water the day before, so I was not sure how I would do.
Stats from the run:
3.1 miles in 32:47
10:47 average per mile
.8 mile warm up
.7 mile warm up
4.6 total miles
