54 miles for the week. I ran some 800s (5) on Wednesday but the memory was full on the garmin after two so I didn't get much data from it. I do know they were too fast and I didn't feel the best. I was shooting for 3:15s but they were more like 3:08s. Bad day to go for a run with the DII 1500m national champ =)
Half marathon on Saturday!

14 miles
My plantar fasciitis is under control. Still taping the foot on longer runs just to be safe. 14 miles today felt pretty good although my legs got a little sore towards the end. 8:01 average pace at 156 HR. Stayed under 160 through 11 then 161 and 162 for the last two miles.

Plantar fasciitis sucks
Been having some issues with my left foot (mostly) but it seems to be under control now. I took a couple of days off but as soon as I started running again the pain came back. Yesterday we discovered that taping my feet works wonders and I have run two days in a row completely pain free. I am doing exercises and stretches that also seem to be taking care of the underlying problem. New shoes definitely helped too.
Today - 6 miles with 3 miles of 400m pick-ups followed by 400m jog.

the week so far
Sun - 13... felt great during the run but my foot was sore after. it seems to be a muscle thing... it almost feels like a bruise and an occasional burning sensation.
Mon - 2 in the morning followed by some icing... i wore shoes with support throughout the day and made it back out for 3 more in the afternoon with just a little discomfort.
Tues - 7 (just a little discomfort for the first mile and then better after that)
I think I am going to try some 800s tomorrow...
