Noon run, breezy, temp 50'
The first 3 or 4 miles I have lots of energy and running feels easy, then to keep the easy feeling I start slowing down over the next few miles. At mile 8.5 I ran 1 mile fast in 5:30 wind aided. I can't go much faster than that. It was hard to keep jogging even at a slow pace after that mile. First 5 miles in 37:20, 2nd 5 miles 37:10
I haven't felt my heel spurs/planterfascitis injury I got when I turned 40 in over a year but I have been feeling it trying to come back the last week or so. Usually I can't feel it when I run but when I did the fast mile today I could feel it every step. I'm not sure what to do about it except roll my foot on a tennis ball or a can of frozen orange juice. Getting old isn't always easy.
