AM: It felt good to be back running today. It was rainy and breezy this morning. I decided to run a double today to ease back into training. 8.1 miles in 7:08 average.

PM: 5.1 hot miles. I can feel some fatigue from last week. I definitely need to get caught up on good sleep.

One more easy day before hitting a workout. I have some naggy little things going on. Trek was more demanding than I thought. 7:07 average.

2 mile warm up. 2 x 3k, 2k, 1k with 1 minute recovery. I wanted three sets, but aborted the workout after two due to sudden pain in my left foot. Seems to be in the tissue running under my arch. Plantar? It's very painful. Hope the racing season isn't over.

A bit sad to miss Deseret News. But, slamming down hills would not have bern a good thing for my foot. Plantar felt much better when I started my run. I put a little harder effort in than yesterday to see what it could handle. It started to flare up after about 5 or 6 miles. We'll see how it does on tomorrow's long run. Not really sure what to do with it at this point. I can run, but there is pain. Inflammation is the worst. 7:02 average.

Happy to make it through 18 today. I think the plantar will survive if I take care of it. My stomach wasn't loving me. Ibuprofen is not it's friend. But, my foot survived, and doesn't seem to be getting worse.

I had to back off a bit this week, but I don't think I lost any significant training. I do need to build, now to avoid plateauing.
