AM Series race across town. Tour de Trails 8k - 30:00. First time running this one, though its been on the series calendar every year. Humid / rainy morning. Tough to breath after about 3 miles and struggled running in to a decent headwind on this out anda back course. Easy 2 mile WU and 8 miles easy pace in the grass afterward. Left foot is still pretty tender. Not quite in the plantar fascia-itis pain range, but, some pain. Continuing with the rolling and massage stuff.

Great race! That humidity can really ruin everything sometimes- but 1st is a good place to end up :)

Toe curls man, don't forget about those toe curls to strengthen the muscles the fascia surrounds. They work wonders.
