ran the local trail again. it was nice I can't wait for it to cool down a little bit here so I feel comfortable back out on the trails. The ball of my foot hurt today. I am not sure why that is maybe I need to let it recover some more. It only really hurts wehn I run trails. It might be the shoes. I may try running the trail in a different pair. Anyone have any thoughts?

Ran this in my instincts same route as yesterday. It did feel a little better on the ball of my foot. I think I am going to lay off trails though for a while. The ball of my foot and my plantar fascia was pretty sore all day after this run.

I was debating last night about not running today because of the pain. I decided to go out and just do slow miles on the road. I decided after the 10k at Burley that I will change my time for a fast mile to 8 min/mile. I started out good at a slow pace and things loosened up really nicely. I felt really good. This made it so I pushed it a little too hard at the end, I wanted to keep my Hr at less than 150 bpm. It got up close to 160 by the end. I do feel good though. No heel pain all day and only some mild muscle soreness on the left (side of plantar fascia iritation). Here are my splits:

Ran up wade rd today had a decent hill for Tucson on asphalt. I did it nice and slow to try and continue to give my plantar fascia time to recover. AP: 8:34 one downhill mile got up to 8:08. The first 3 miles my HR stayed at 150 or less than it crept up because of the steep hill and stayed around 160 for the rest of the run.
