For me August has been a terrible month for running.  Since August 5th I have experienced sharp pain during and after running.  All I’ve been able to do is ice and medicate my foot with a little ibuprofen.

On 8/16 Helena and I participated in the Old Orchard Beach Breakaway 5k.  This went fairly well.  I ended up placing 170th out of 339 finishers.  My time was 25:07.  I was hoping to break the 24 min mark this time around.  The 5k I ran in May was 24:ish, so my pace was a little off.

Last week was pretty good with a couple 4+ mile days and a few others bringing the total to almost 15 miles.  The last run of the week was a 5k at race pace which brought me in at about 24:30 and it didn’t hurt too bad.  I need to stretch a lot more.
