I Ran! Will I Race?

These past months have been challenging as I've tried to figure out how to manage hallux rigidus, and whether I can still run.

I've now had my third version of orthotics for almost two weeks, and I'm cautiously optimistic that the third time may be the charm.

I successfully ran two miles in them yesterday, after 7 weeks of not being able to run at all. So what does this mean for my fall race hopes?

Where There is a Will, There is a Way: South Lakes 10K

The South Lakes 10K is one of my favorite local races, and it was on my race calendar "wish list" for this year. But my toe isn't ready yet, so I reluctantly accepted it wasn't going to happen this year.

Last week was tough as my timehop app kept showing me pictures from past years' races and my running friends planned for this year's race. Maybe there was a way to join the race after all?
