I stayed in Seattle Saturday night and woke up to a pretty good snowstorm -- so I passed on a recovery run -- but Bremerton was untouched and this morning Mike and I hit the road for a long run. Met at Evergreen Park, went out to Tracyton Dock and back on the Stephenson Trail and then across the Manette Bridge. Added a loop through downtown to get over 10 miles. In the low 30s, but we had dry footing and ran a pretty good clip. The first half of the run was at 7/min. pace according to Garmin, then we backed off some but still finished pretty strong. 1:20:15

I've got a little foot pain on the right, the big toe's metatarsal bone is kind of sore when I step or lift that toe. It's more annoying that truly painful, and I don't feel it with every step. Seems like I've had this before, so I'll wear loose shoes to keep the pressure off during the day (tight shoes seemed to bother it yesterday), and hope for the best.

Five or so inches of snow on the ground (which is like two feet anywhere else), 12-hour workdays since Tuesday, and this nagging metatarsal soreness have kept me off my feet most of the week. Yesterday I did break out of work for a bit and went over to the Y, the schools are all closed but the Y stayed open. So I got five on the treadmill. 38:40 

My foot doesn't hurt while I'm running, it's tender on the top of the foot when I have shoes on. Not constant pain, just here and there I'll notice it. So I think it's more like a deep bruise.

Snow is melting slowly now, the city is still more or less shut down but maybe I'll go slog through it for awhile. Hopefully the streets are dry enough for a long run tomorrow, so I can salvage the week.

Five easy on the slushy streets of Manette. Didn't turn out to be much of a week, with the crazy weather and long hours. But that gave my foot some rest, it's still sore and a little tender on top, but I can stride and step without real pain. And the rain has now stopped, so it was nice to get fresh air and a bit of dim sun through the clouds. Mike and I are planning to run longer tomorrow, so that'll hopefully get things back on track.
