I think I should be healed/rested enough to start running again, but I've felt like crap all day. And this is the worst time of year for my allergies.

I hate taking time off. Feels like I'm losing huge amounts of progress every day.

It sucks to take time off but sometimes it a necessary evil.

4 miles today.

Mud run today. Mud ate my shoes. That made actual running difficult.

The Tennessee Ragnar looks fun. It's on an unfortunate weekend, however.

 

[gcbvol]

6.5 today.

 

[JROVOL]

4.65 today. Felt good!

 

[Goldie]

2 miles yesterday. Little under 18 minutes.

 

[YankeeVol]

Totally drank too much Friday night and didn't get up for the 5K.

just over 4 miles in the sandy trails again here at Ft Bragg. 8:12 pace

4 miles after work yesterday. Wind was blowing so it wasn't too bad but we went from winter to summer with pretty much no spring in between.

Yeah, a friend joked with me about how there was no way she could run at 6:30 am. It was 72 degrees then, it will be in the 90s by noon. I'll gladly run early to avoid that heat.

Gettin' that time to either run in the mornings before the sun comes up or in the evenings after it goes down.

5.62 in 44:21

 

[volfanbill]

4.5 miles today. Ready to rest tomorrow. Felt good til I started! Just didn't have it today. Did take a new route/trail that I had never been on and really liked it. Will definitely revisit.

 

[Orangesmokey]

4.5 at 7:44 pace. Two days rest and cooler temps really helped.

 

[VOLatile]

4.8. Foot seems to be healing a bit. Going to take a few weeks off after Saturday to let it heal completely.

 

[VOLatile]

Apparently I have plantar fasciitis. I picked up some kinesio tape for tomorrow's trail run. Have any of you used it to treat this specifically?

 

[YankeeVol]

Tape ain't gonna fix PF

 

[VOLatile]

Tape ain't gonna fix PF

No, of course not. I just want to relieve the pain for 6 miles and then stay off of it until it heals.

 

[YankeeVol]

The smartest thing would to not do the run honestly.

 

[VOLatile]

The kinesio tape worked. No pain. Finished the race in 1:17:01. Honestly thought I would finish dead last.

 

[Goldie]

5 and some change in under an hour. I could have probably kept going too. I was in the zone.

I got in the zone near the end of the race yesterday, too. It's a good feeling when you finish but want to keep going.
