AM: PT apt. Lower back adjustment and stretching. Made another insert for my road shoes. She said it was okay, but not great and we may want to consider orthotics when I get back in August. Definitely do not want to do stability shoes as they would not work with my feet, but the difference between R and L may benefit from custom orthotics. We shall see. 

 Afterwards ran 6.18 in 9:23 avg pace along Boulder Creek Path. Had to remove insert at mile 4 because a blister was forming, unfortunately I think I got a small one- hopefully it heals quickly. But before I removed the insert, my knee felt great, so I think adding a little more support under my arch may solve a lot of the knee/hip problems. Goal for run: 145-150 heart rate. Avg heart rate: 148, Max heart rate: 161. Min Elevation: 5,350'; Max elevation: 5,748' ; 390' gain/loss. Beautiful morning. Perfect temperature. Now off to spend the weekend with good friends.

I got custom orthodics after my IT injury. I was also a little apprehensive about getting them, but I have not had any problems since and that was 7 years ago. Hopefully they will work for you once you get used to them.

Definitely thinking about getting them when I get back in August. I will see how the little inserts work out for me in July (if the blister ever heals) and that may help me determine if they would work. Certainly not cheap!
