Mission Aborted

Due to time constraints, I set off for an easy four miles with Ruby this evening.  However, right from the off I knew something was wrong .

Yesterday, during my run home from the race, my right foot started to get sore on the inner arch.  I just carried on regardless hoping it would wear off.  It didn't but neither did it get any worse.  Tonight the pain was back as soon as I started running and the more I ran, the more intense it got and it was making me run on the outer side of my foot so that I didn't put any weight on the inside.  I decided it would probably be best to abort the run after only 0.7 of a mile and just walked with Ruby instead.

I won't be running tomorrow night either due to other commitments which is probably for the best so I can give it a good rest.

A video was put online today from the race yesterday showing all the runners being sent the wrong way by a marshal at the start.  I saw myself running on this video and this is the first time I have ever seen myself run. I must say I didn't look as bad as I thought I would.  On photos I always look hunched over but on this video I didn't think I looked too bad.  Would really like to see the unedited footage and slow it down though so I can analyse it a bit more.

Total distance - 0.7 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
