After my 20 mile run last week I soon realized what that little pain spot on my left foot was, my plantar fasciitis was back. Over the next 2 days it got progressively worse and seemed to travel from the side of my foot to the center where it was a few weeks ago. Ugh!
I went back to rubbing the ice bottles on the bottom of my feet, went out and bought another pair of Dr. Scholl’s inserts, and tried to stretch as often as possible. I even got the rolling pin out again. Friday the 9th I did a 5 mile tempo run and my foot felt pretty good.
Today (Sunday) is a “down” week, only 15 miles to do :-). My neighbor Jody joined us for the first time as she is tapering down from her half marathon, Katie is in Chicago running the rock ‘n roll half marathon, and so Maureen and I set out to do 15 miles while Rita has 20 miles. Rita ran the first 5 by herself and then Maureen and I joined her for the remaining 15 miles. The temperature has dropped significantly yet there is still some humidity out there that can be troublesome.
After our run I rushed home to finish setting up for my daughter Rylee’s first birthday party (actual birthday is 9/12). With the exception of a little Lions’ football, I didn’t have a chance to sit down from the start of our run at 7am until 9pm when we finally got the kids down for bed. We had over 45 friends and relatives come to help Rylee celebrate her big day, I am thankful for my family.
And thankfully I felt great on Monday morning, no soreness or abrasions at all! Next week, my 2nd 20 miler!
