First time up Emigration on the bike this year and fastest time since I was riding all the time in 2012. Good sign, I hope!

PT for shins and feet.

Plantar fasciitis started after 10-hour car ride to Oregon, but I had noticed some lower leg tiredness with my new Bushidos so probably a combination of running more miles then ever, new shoes, and travel brought on the PF. Shins starting hurting too last Saturday and I've pretty much given up on running the Steeplechase on Saturday :(

Tried to run a few miles on the BST, but shins were too painful.

I iced and elevated my shins all day thinking they might just be inflamed with the work I had done on them on Wednesday. My PT is great, but sometimes I don't think my body responds well to intense treatment. I also tried a combination of beer, Japenese herbal patches, and other substances to try and get my legs to feel better with hopes of still running tomorrow.

I've missed the last 5 years of the #WahsatchSteeplechase because of 3 hip surgeries and constant crap and I almost didn't make it to the start line this year as well. I decided not to run yesterday because of ouchie feet and shins and overall lack of energy and then I woke up this morning and thought about what else I could do this morning and then I thought about what was worse failing or not even trying. Obviously NOT TRYING so I went for it! My shins were burning so terribly at mile 2, I cried and walked and almost turned around. But I didn't... I powered up Black Mountain, bombed Smugglers kamikaze-style, and bonked horrifically with one mile to go! I had previously set a very difficult goal (for me) to finish in 3 hours which I ended up abandoning to get myself to the start and I came in at 3 HOURS ONE MINUTE son of a... But after all this I was just so happy to simply finish. I wish I could do it again next week, but I guess I will have to wait until next year 😋
