I honestly never thought I would be one of those people that loves to run, yet here I am.

So, I’m frustrated and relieved at the same time, I guess that would make me Freileved. I just got back from the doctor’s appointment at Slocum in Eugene (props to the facility and staff, great Ortho center) and after some poking, prodding, and xraying it turns out that I don’t have Planters Fasciitis and I don’t have a fracture but I have signs of a stress reaction in my left foot.

I don’t think I could of started Spring Break off any better. I got up around 7, talked with my dad for a little bit and then hit the road for a run. I chugged along for 8.65 miles, in 1:26, which is a slower pace for me. I started in downtown Woodburn and ran to the back roads, up and over I-5, along the rows of orchards and vinyards. The sun was still fairly low in the sky barely obscured by the light clouds, my initial feelings of being cold had worn off by the first mile. I don’t think I came across five cars as I stomped the soft shoulder. All the songs that played were good ones, usually of a faster tempo so I at least feel like I’m running faster. I rounded back into Woodburn and got my usual feeling of I could of or should have gone futher. When I walked back into the house, everyone was up and talking. Really, it was just a perfect and peaceful beginning to the day and the break.
