Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom.  I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed.  I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011.   I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs.   When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time.   After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022.  I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

Today's weather really sucked because of the 20-25 mph winds.  Miles 6-8 and 12-13 were directly into wind.  I'm considering those strength training miles because it took alot of effort... I would have rather climbed hills than battle this wind.  Also, it was cold wind so my legs were frozen and my ears hurt the entire run.  I felt stiff and it was difficult to stay in good form.  

My plantar fasciitis was ok I guess.  It hurt the whole way but not super, super bad.  What hurt the most was my right big toe developed a huge blister.   

So not the most enjoyable run I've ever done but I'm glad I could do 13 miles without major injury.  I can tell I've lost fitness these last 3 weeks of running less because of my foot problems.  Oh well.  I'll get back to where I was if I can ever get my foot better.

Good solid run. Hopefully with the solutions you've gotten, you will be over the injury bug soon and pounding out the miles for Cowtown. It is a good sign you can run 13.
