9/15 Thursday: 3.2 miles in 26 minutes
This was my first run in almost 7 weeks. I had been suffering through plantar fasciitis issues since February and I have been in physical therapy for about 4 months. In the 7 weeks I have been off from running my foot has made a lot of progress and the last couple weeks I have been almost pain free. I decided that it was time to test it out and see how it felt on an easy run. Well, it actually felt pretty good! I has some stiffness and some aches in the heel and arch area, but no pain! We will have to see how it feels later tonight and tomorrow, but I am optimistic. Just have to take it slow and not push it!
9/16 Friday: OFF
No running today. Foot felt a touch sore, and I expected that, but I had no pain. I will take that as a good sign. Will give it another go tomorrow!
9/17 Saturday: 4 miles in 30 minutes
Easy running in Haverhill. The foot felt alright, more of the same with some very slight soreness in the foot and arch area. No pain in the heel. I will take it!
9/18 Sunday: OFF
Day off from running. Went over to the Bob Laprel 4 Mile Road Race to watch Heather run. She did not disappoint, running a great race to take first place! Results
Total Miles: 7.2
Its a start.....lots of work to do. Still need to be very careful and be aware of how the foot is doing. Going to take things pretty slow and make sure I come back healthy.
We're in the same boat, gus.
ReplyDeleteChris, there is a typo in your Upcoming Races section. It should read:
ReplyDeleteDecember - I Love Woodford Snowshoe Race
Its true Bob......not running is killing me!
ReplyDeleteJim, maybe I will take another shot at the snowshoe racing this winter. It might be a good way to get me in shape for the road season.
Chris, has Heather EVER disappointed you?!?
ReplyDeleteNever.
