What’s a guy to do?
January 24, 2010
Wow! It’s been over two months since I’ve done a blog! Time sure flies by in a hurry. My running life has been pretty uneventful since the Chicago Marathon. Have a case of Plantar Fasciitis that started just before the marathon and increasingly grew worse during the following weeks to the point of having to decrease my weekly mileage drastically. It has been really stubborn and goes from feeling pretty good on some days to really painful on others.
Right now I’m doing a cut down version of base training along with some weight training so I can maintain some fitness in hopes that it will go away in time to to go full speed ahead in training for a spring marathon, but my hope for that is growing dimmer with each passing day. If the marathon doesn’t happen then hopefully I can at least do a spring half.
Was going to do a 4 mile recovery run today, but the heel didn’t do well at all during yesterdays 6 miler so decided not to run today. Tomorrow I have a 4 mile foundation run to do. I do the foundation run at a pace that is 30″ to 60″ faster than a recovery run. Am hoping the heel does better tomorrow!
Enjoy every step!
