With as hot as our summer has been I actually expect to get 6-8 more weeks of warm(ish) running in. I am starting to feel ready for fall, but I am still liking running in light gear. The rain is supposed to hit us this weekend, it has been a super long time since I have run in the rain and I am looking forward to it. Last week I only managed a couple of runs for just over 10 miles, just seemed to have too much going on. This week is starting to look the same even though I have already matched my totals from last week. But tomorrow may be the last chance for a run this week as I have shows Friday and Saturday night so running is out for both days. I haev a meeting tomorrow with a new client but I think I’ll brave the exhaustion and run anyway.

Pain in my feet continue to be an issue, especially after four miles or so. I am considering talking to the neurologist about it during my yearly check-in, but then again I can probably live with it at this point rather than taking another medication. I think a better approach might be acupuncture, something I have been considering starting again, especially once my new insurance plan kicks in next year.

My shoulder has been really bugging me after that fall the other week. Feels very similar to the pain I experienced after I was hit by a car ten (?) years ago. It’s time to make Dr. Szeto’s magic shoulder stretches a consistent part of my routines.
