6.6K xc, all on grass, pure heaven
Walked dog for 25:00. Left PF still sore but not as bad as yesterday. I may have to resort to alternate-day running.
I'll give this until next Spring to get better, then I'll have to re-evaluate taking up something else. This is pretty demoralizing.

Depends how bad this plantar faciitis is, maybe pool running for a month or two, then ease back into regular running?
Today, for 38:31 windy & wet. AHR 142 MHR 152
4x round block plus extra distance.
Windy & wet in Motown as well. About 32F* with sleet mixed in with the rain & snow. Got 9 in but they weren't what you'd call 'quality' miles. I hate stepping in slush. Yeah, I'm a wuss but I still did it.
Saturday, off.
Sunday, 46' trail run. Hung some lights after. Beat the snow.
32 minutes yesterday
jno time yesterday. Bike commute only. Looks like the same today.

yesterday: contrary to expectations, managed to squeeze in a 12x(what-must-have-been-about-300m) in the park on my way home. From the small pine tree near the chin-up bar to the large pine tree next to the bench.
The good thing about it was, that one way it was uphill, and, obviously, the other way downhill. So it was uphill-downwhill workout. Happened by chance but i might have to do it again. It felt right.
today: bike commute only for sure
Sorry about the absence. There's a lot going on and I haven't had much internet time lately. Anyway....
Sunday: off
Monday: 4 x 1 M @ 100+% vVO2max
Tuesday: 60' easy
Be good!
Ran a mile at dusk yesterday...had to dodge a pickup truck. Today did 30:00 on the recumbent bike.
The PF has been around since 1994, my last marathon. Leading up to it I was doing all my running in racing flats, then had ITBS after the marathon, then achilles tendonitis, then this PF and later sciatica. I had ten injury-free years and have paid the price in spades since then.
It's frustrating, but I have accepted the fact that I ran better a decade after HS than I ever did IN HS. I got into pretty doggone good shape for a formerly pudgy kid who really wasn't all that great at sports. I wish to God Almighty I had never run that last marathon.
I also started running in racing flats because NIKE totally butchered the old Air Pegasus (circa 1989). I loathe them for that...they destroyed a good shoe. I NEVER got injured in the old Air Pegs.
I'm age 53 as of last month. Sic transit gloria. I had my day.
Don't give up!
I'm 60 now as of last month, still thinking about possibilities of a comeback.
Been running since HS, actually since 1960, part of a private school curriculum...as well as other sports.
It's frustrating how shoe companies, corporations will produce a model which for one personally is THE SHOE, then it gets discontinued while other models with way too much stuff constructed in them get flogged at us, one buys these only to develop all kinds of lower leg problems.
Back in 1988 (age 40), still regret running that Masters one mile on the track, did some damage to my ischial tuberosity (top of hamstring) which took years to completly go away, meanwhile My running biomechanics were altered to compensate for this which is honestly why I seem to be plagued with hip/piriformis (other leg) problems now.

(should have mentioned)
Mon: For 37:37.
Tues: For 36:34.
5 miles easy on the somewhat icy sidewalks and much less icy roads. Someone remind me, if I ever own a property with a sidewalk, to shovel the damn thing pronto.
I have no idea what I'm going to do about getting tempo runs in in a couple of weeks. It's been cold and cloudy enough that this pitiful layer of snow and ice hasn't melted yet. Maybe the Holy Cross coach will be merciful and let me use his indoor track at lunch.
session on tuesday -
10x300m - 47.0 average with 60 seconds rest
age 16
Yank, Vic:
It ain't over till it's over. My father PRed his marathon at 65 in NYC 3:27 ovecoming several wrong-itudes of his past. Biomechanical and otherwise. As for me, overtraining resulted in chondramalacia when I was 19. Nipped me in the bud you might say... But it ain't over till it's over.
Weather permitting, do some barefoot walking on soft surfaces. There is this poster i like to read here, jaguar1, who has had some great results. Search her up and read. If you are commonsensically gradual about it might fix things up.
Looks like another wonderful day of bicycle commuting.
Yesterday, no run
Today, Thur., short run (things to do) for 27:07. Warm up for a few min., picked up pace for 6 plus min., jog for 5 - 6 min., solid run for 12 plus min. to finish. AHR 140 MHR 156.
