6.5 Miles - Testing Out My Damaged Foot

My foot is damaged, but since I felt OK walking around on it I decided to see how it would feel jogging.  Handan wanted to go for a run this morning so I went with her at her pace which is about 5 miles per hour.  Last time she ran outdoors she went a little more than four miles.  We were going to do the same today, but by the time we got to mile 3 she said she was feeling good and wanted to do 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).  So we did.

She really impressed me.  Her pace was very steady and her form was good.  I reminded her from time to time not to bend forward too much, but other than that she was a 'real runner'.  Amazing... she's ready for the MCM 10K already and there's half a year to go before the race!

My foot feels alright and tomorrow I'll try a faster run of the same distance.

I'm very proud of my beautiful, athletic wife! :-)
