Where's the start of the race?

So much has happened I'm not even sure where to start. It's like registering for the race but on arrival, I just can't find the start - just loads of people milling around.

The bigger thing that happened was my persistent injury on my left foot. It's gotten worse. It used to be just an ache for a minute or so the moment I got out of bed in the morning but it's now turned into this full day ache everytime after some long run or so. It happened again thus morning, like it did for the last month or so. I tried taking a break from running after SCKLM 2010 but it didn't seem to help much. I wanted a break anyway because I was feeling burnt out by all the distance so it was nice to get away from running for a while. But the bloody injury persisted.

So much so to the point that I think the stability shoes that I am wearing are probably causing this ailment. I'm neutral, with low arches, but I thought stability would do me some good in going longer. It's not working though because in addition to the ache, I am now feeling the medial posts. I'm now thinking of neutral shoes and with the discount voucher from SCKLM, I'm thinking of the NB 758

The ache in my foot is also a physical manifestation of my frustration. No matter how clever a person is, some things must be taught, not learnt. I'm no slacker and I think my career proves it but if I do not know something, someone ought to take me aside and tell me. Sitting all by myself will not help me learn my new craft - if I sm unable to type, then I ought to be taught how to type; certaintly typing is not intellectual. But such is life and how I am tested everyday. Everything has a reason.

Coming back to running, I'm going to try my NB RT769 tomorrow. It a stability shoe but I can hardly feel the post. And I think I'll be on gravel so it will be softer. We've signed up for the Siemens run, as well as the Orange run, so July is a full schedule; but it's going to be a fun run for me. I don't think I'm quite up to chasing PRs these days.
