Went away for a really nice Valentine's weekend with Maryann.  So Friday night we ended up in the hotel gym and the good treadmill was out of order so I had to use the rickety old treadmill while Maryann went with a decent elliptical.  Anyway, I needed to cut it short after 2 miles due to foot pain.  It's been bothering me off and on and it's not really pain but more like a severe discomfort.  Friday was the most discomfort and also different about it was that it lingered into Saturday which has never happened before.  Previously, when I had the discomfort it subsided when I stopped running and didn't bother me again until I got back on the treadmill.  So tonight I broke out a new pair of runners--a really freaky-looking black Reebok with red devilish lines all over them which my son got me for Christmas--and jumped on the treadie.  The discomfort kicked in around 2 miles again and kept up until mile 4 then kind of went away so I went ahead and finished my 6.2 miles.  Resting now, the foot just feels kind of weird so I hope there's nothing wrong with it.  Eager to get back outside to run--I think the discomfort might be caused by too much running on the tread.  We shall see.

Good to see Pedro back in a Red Sox uniform.  I sincerely believe he's going to make a difference with the staff.
