Trying to improve my running

Ran over the saddle by sombrero peak. That trail is terrible. I don't know if I would ever be able to run the whole thing just because of the loose rocks it is worse since the monsoons as well. It is a beautiful area though.

Nice run this morning. My new neighbor is a runner and we went together. We were pretty equal. It is nice to have someone to run with. I would have liked to push it a little bit more. Next time. AP: 8:29/mile. I think I was slower because of the plantar fasciitis. I. Not sure what to do about it. It only hurts for the first 0.5 miles.

Did 3 miles slow. the watch died halfway through the run. So not sure on the time. I decided to take it nice and slow to let my plantar fascia to recover some.

Ran the loop around the park. I only did the uphill one way this time because I took my neighbor for the first time. It felt good the trail was nice. Not very much plantar fascia pain.

This month didn't get quite as much accomplished as I wanted too. The road to Wasson peak was closed so I wasn't able to get there to run up that at all. also with plantar fascia and foot pain didn't  get quite as many miles as I hoped to. I think the heat isn't helping a ton either. It will be nice when it starts to cool down some. I am going to go hard this next month to get ready for the half in November. plus I am at the VA this month so I should be able to get some longer runs in during the week.

I was finally able to make it back up wasson peak. I was slower by about 10 minutes from my previous runs. I guess I rested more this time than the other times. The trail was overgrown some in spots which made it a little bit more difficult. I still like this backside trail better than the other trail up the front. I hope to be able to do this a couple of more times before the half marathon in November. Hopefully they will open up the direct route to the trail soon.
