It's been several days since my last blog. Our goal on Saturday was to run 20 miles; however, a visit to The Renick Clinic on Friday yielded a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis in my left foot. Remember my last blog on obstacles? Let's add this one to the list. Saturday's run was scheduled for 9am but was rain delayed several times yielding a noon start time. Shiela joined us but wasn't feeling very well so she dropped out of the cold rain after the first loop to seek refuge in the gym on the treadmill. We opted to continue until I couldn't push through the heel pain any longer. We finished up 10 miles. I was bummed with the second five mile loop but felt very strong the first loop. I have continued to baby it with ice, NSAIDS, stretching and that wonderful ortho sock that makes me look retarded. I'll do whatever I have to do, right?
This week has brought two really great swim workouts s - 2800m and 2450m drill sets. Last night was a bike trainer workout so all in all I am feeling well. I've opted to stay off the foot a great deal in hopes that I can run a little tomorrow night and pick up a half marathon run on Sunday. Still feeling strong, getting more nervous but ready to produce results. Happy Training!
