| | Nice recovery run today, and good news on the foot. I met Aaron on the Burke-Gilman Trail in Seattle, didn't wear a watch and just ran at a comfortable pace for awhile. Nice to catch up, and another beautiful morning. Four and a half is an estimate based on a few mile markers I saw and the clock time when I finished. No pain in the foot though, not even on the warm up. I played basketball for an hour after running yesterday pain-free, which tells me maybe the shoes are do for a replacement. I didn't get that done today like I planned, but hopefully soon. I think massaging my arch and icing really helped Saturday morning, I did it again this morning after the run and the plantar seems to be improving. supernova -- 299 | | Add Comment |
| | Took Memorial Day off to plant in the yard and cut the grass, I got up early but went out to breakfast instead of running. Came back with the 11th-Shore long loop this morning. Easy pace, overcast skies. My foot was a little painful at the start, but warmed up and I didn't notice it. I didn't have a chance to buy new shoes over the weekend, but I have a pair of trail runners I haven't worn in months, with probably 50-70 total miles on them. So I wore them today, I'll work them into the rotation this week until I get to the shoe store. Stretched, massaged, etc. and icing right now. 36:17. pearl izumi trail

| | 11th-Shore short loop, the pain is still hanging around in my left foot and I mis-timed my bathroom stops so the run was cut short. I needed to spend more time doing the massaging/icing to get this thing healthy. I felt pretty sluggish today, probably a combo of the cloudy weather, skipping yesterday's run and some tentativeness because of the foot. The slug run tomorrow will be shorter than last week, I'll stay on the safe side for a few more days while I heal. 24:20 supernova -- 302 | | Add Comment |

Easy Saturday with the Slugs. The other guys are breaking down so we scaled it back, I could have added a few but we were trying a new breakfast place and I didn't want to be late. As usual the pace wasn't on 7:30. We even tried to make it a contest and have each guy lead a mile without using his watch and see who could hit the closest (my try was 7:15). The miles went: 15:30 (1,2); 7:43; 7:19; 6:56; 7:19; 7:15; 7:25; 6:45; 7:03. The last two were after I had stopped to go to the bathroom, so I was rushing a bit to catch up. My foot is a little sore now, but I didn't feel it for the majority of the run. My heel feels a little more pain now. It's improving, but I should be patient and keep on the treatments. Breakfast place was a winner, I think we'll keep going there. I went with the waffles. 1:13 total. supernova -- 312
