I took the kids to the gym tonight while Doone was at mutual and snuck in a 6 mile TM run at 1% incline. I ran the first 4 at an easy 8 min pace then gradually sped up and did mile 5 in 7:15 then mile 6 in 6:30. It felt good to let the legs run a bit. It's been a while. I had a few seconds of foot tightness during the last mile but nothing that lasted and and now my foot feels fine. I didn't wear my orthotics, just used the KT tape. I hope I am closing the door on this miserable injury.

Total run 6 miles 45:45

SpeedStar 2 Miles: 6.00

Very nice run bro. Your doing awesome with your recovery. Keep it nice and easy bro with coming back. You are doing awesome. I sure hope to see you at Boston this year. Maybe even ealier if you do the series again. Look at that those last 2 miles. OH YEAH!!!!

From Teena on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 12:49:45 from 67.177.20.13

WOW!!!

Okay ... every time I see you in the 6s I get nervous!!! BE CAREFUL!!! No rush ... but I know what you mean ... sometimes it just feels good to let it all go!

How does your foot feel today?

From Huans32 on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 12:55:20 from 138.64.2.76

LOL its kind of funny how the few of us coming off of injuries are so worried about being so carefull for everyone else. And how when its us we sometimes completely forget it and push the limits every chance we get. Its good to see your feeling better though Rhett. I really am looking forward to our next race together. (Hopefully at Boston):)

What are you talking about Mark!!!???

I KNOW you are NOT talking about me!!!!

:) :) :)

(Although, I do think it does have a lot to do with that we have a ton more confidence in others than we do ourselves. For example, I know that Rhett can come back and reach top speeds with no problem, because he is so fit and talented ... and yet, when it comes to me I know that I need all the help and workouts that I can get.)

From Huans32 on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 14:06:47 from 138.64.2.76

Oh I wasn't meaning just you. I am sure the 3 of us are all the same way. More so since we are either injuried and coming back or recovering or just recovered. I wouldn't have said as much if I hadn't gotten injuried ealier this year.

Rhett ~ GREAT NEWS! SO HAPPY you let the legs run a bit and no pain on the foot. Steady does it. There's plenty of time. Sounds like the KT tape is working for ya.

From Rhett on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 15:55:02 from 74.32.218.117

Mark and Teena, you guys are cracking me up, but I know exactly what you mean. It is easy to say to someone else to take you time, your in great shape, you'll be back to your speedy ole self soon, but it is hard to be patient yourself.

Smooth, yes the KT tape seems to be working so far.

From timp on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 16:43:12 from 129.188.33.25

great news again - just don't rush it...

From Huans32 on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 16:47:34 from 138.64.2.76

You are doing great though Rhett. Its great to see you coming back and getting in some running. I am glad that with all the xtraining you have done. Has got you already back up to 6 miles and without much pain. Just come back nice and easy. I took basically 3 months to just get my miles back up for Ogden. And then after Ogden was able to work on speed and tempos. And it has worked well for me. I just wished I would of done alot more Xtraining like you and Teena have done. So I wouldn't have to take so many months to get back.

6:30 wow! Teena and Mark crack me up too!
