Thursday 4/21: {Brick} 14.8 mile ride @ 14.8mph + 2 mile run @ 9:11 | I am actually more embarrassed than proud to admit this, but I ran two miles. Ran them. Actually more like bouncy walked them. But in kind of a running motion and without stopping. I'm embarrassed because I had originally planned to do them on the elliptical and probably should have since today wasn't like the best foot day, and the whole time I was like "I shouldn't be doing this. Should I be doing this? I don't think I should be doing this...." But I couldn't help myself, which is how I got into this mess in the first place. I did have some pain in my foot, like 1-2 level on a scale of 1-10 and it wasn't really painful per se, it just didn't feel right and normal. My heel aches afterward for about 30 minutes and then it got better so I'm not sure what to make of that? At this point I'm viewing running solely as the vehicle to get me across an Ironman finish line and I am willing to do just about anything, run, run-walk, walk, crawl, etc to get there. I know today probably wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but the low level pain/discomfort stayed the same the whole run (which is why I kept going for the full two miles - nothing was feeling different, no better no worse) and I made it through. I'm just trying to find the line where I can at least cover some miles without permanently injuring myself.
