I got out for a long run today, my longest since April. It rained the entire time. I felt good but, as expected, my foot annoyed me and continued hurting throughout the day. Last week I received my custom-fit orthotics but I haven't ran with them yet. I put a pair in my work boots and they feel ok walking around at work - they hurt the first 2 days but I got used to them later in the week. I'm still hesitant to start running in them but I'll give it a try this coming week. The Croatan 24-hour race is in a few weeks and I still intend to run it.

It feels good to really get back into running and I missed it! We've started combat-type conditioning at work 3 days each week, which has cut into my training, but it helps me to maintain muscle and cardio. I'm going to start biking less and running more. I got the results of my MRI on Friday - bruised sesamoid bone, and tendonitis in my big toe with some fluid also present. I'll continue to tape down my toe during the day and during runs. The Doc said it could get worse, get better, or just hang out like it has been for months. My custom orthotics should be ready to wear next week or the week after, and I'm hoping they help my foot more than hurt it. It's trial and error from here on out, but I can keep running which is good news.
I did 14+ miles yesterday and it felt awesome! The humidity and heat were very low, it was about 75 degrees with rain and decent wind, and it felt so good to run shirtless again and feel a breeze to keep me cool. I wasn't fast (averaged 7:57/mile), but I didn't suffer from heat exhaustion like I had been early in the summer when the heat index was over 100 degrees on the daily. I made a discovery as well - my toe and foot felt okay until 45 minutes into the run, the pain increased from then until about 1:15, then it all sort of went numb until I finished around 2 hours. Karl Meltzer suffers from a similar issue where he "hangs on" for about 40 miles in a 100 mile race, then his foot goes numb and he is able to start cranking out the miles. Who knows whether or not we have the same injury, but it's comforting to know that others deal with similar nagging injuries and have been running throughout them for years. During my deployment next year I don't anticipate running too much so there is a potential for this to go away altogether. Time will tell.
