Step by step, mile by mile

AM - got about 100m past 8.5 on mural and felt a strain in the arch of my left foot when i landed on it(plantar fasciitis?). stopped and walked around for a minute but it still felt a little sore so i called it there; no reason in risking making it worse. i'm not all that worried; i parked a couple blocks away so i could do some strides and drills beforehand on the turf field, and was able to jog a bit going back to my car feeling relatively fine. 6:01 pace for the ~8.5 which is pretty annoying considering the last 4.5 miles were hovering in the 5:53-5:58 pace range. why couldn't my foot have started hurting like 10 minutes later so i could at least have the victory of it being 5-minute pace? whatever

AM - drills and dynamics on the turf + 10 minutes running. foot felt fine being on my feet for work yesterday, but a bit sore again this morning. felt a bit better towards the end of the run so hopefully just needed to get warmed up. 

AM - 5 jogging on the turf. foot feels 95% of the way back to normal so hopefully by the PM i won't have any good excuses for missing runs.

AM - 4 easy on the turf + dynamics 

AM - dynamics and drills on the turf. was gonna do an early 6-mile shakeout but my foot wasn't feeling up to the challenge. i wore old pegs that had stability insoles in and i can't tell if it helped or hurt me

AM2 - 6 on sokol, 6:07 pace. would have been a really good run if it weren't already a bright 80 and humid by 9am(i hope to experience this "fall weather" some day). ran the first 4 at 6-flat pace before i started burning up so tried easing off the gas to get more mileage but i'd already redlined. something something global warming something something environmental awareness tangent 

AM - 5 on sokol before work, 6:16 pace
