PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I ATE ¼ NUTELLA POUNDCAKE AND ABOUT A BILLIONTY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES THIS WEEK. AND A BAG OF POPCORN WITH BUTTER ALL OVER IT (THE POPCORN, NOT THE BAG. THAT'S JUST SILLY THE OTHER WAY AROUND). LET'S FACE IT, I WAS PRETTY INDULGENT.

So after the incident with the knee, I ran last night (MILDLY!), And I remembered that about a mile in the night before, the middle of my foot hurt like the dickens and so I took my shoes off and ran a mile in my socks. I wonder if that wasn't it. Or the jumping about I did every thirty seconds to keep my shorts from riding up. In any case, I did what runner's world said to do to correct under-pronation—stretching the thighs and calves and achilles' heel more before and after running, icing the knee after running, and I ran in my old shoes. No knee pain today! None! Nada! I also increased my speed to 5.5, and that made my knees feel better.

I think the pinching had something to do with the gel in the bottom of the shoe, and I'm going to return them., They look pristine and they don't smell or anything. Is that bad? I'm going to go to the insane store Friday and see how it goes from there. Hopefully they will be open, and they will not make fun of me for not knowing if my arches are high or not. And I'll just have to suck it up and see how I do that way.
