5.98K Run

Tonight I ran 5.98K in 49mins.  It was a little bit cooler out tonight than it has been.  I noticed a little of bit of pain in my right foot tonight, so I am a little worried that my planter fasciitis is starting back up again.  Last night I made a blueberry and strawberry smoothie for the next couple of breakfasts.  Here is the recipe:

3/4 cup of orange juice

1/3 cup of pineapple juice

2 cups of yogurt

1 cup of blueberries

1/2 cup of strawberries

8K Run #3

Tonight I ran 8K in 1hour and 11mins.  I am very happy with this as it was pain free in my right foot!  When I came home from work tonight, I was sore all over.  Not sure why as I had not run in 2 days.  I decided that I would take 2 Advils and then have a bath and see how I felt after that.  I felt better and went on my run.  My legs felt great!  I think I might try taking a bath Sunday morning before to my 1/2 marathon because my legs never felt so great!  I will keep up with rolling my foot with the golf ball and frozen water bottle as this has been working for my Plantar Fasciitis and hopefully I will feel as good on Sunday as I did tonight!  Here is my training schedule for this week:

Monday: Cross Train Took this as a rest day due to my foot

Tuesday: 8K Run

Wednesday: 5K Run

Thursday: Rest Day

Friday: 3K Run

Saturday: 2 weddings in Owen Sound

8.45K Run and Plantar Fasciitis

Today I was scheduled to run 12K with the running group but was only able to do 8.45K as I have developed a case of Plantar Fasciitis today in my right heel.  I could not believe how much pain I was in and did not know what I did.  When I returned back to the running store both the group leader and all the other participants knew exactly what the problem was, Planter Fasciitis.  Great, with one week to go until the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.  It was suggested that I ice my heal, and use a golf ball to roll out the bottom of my foot.  I have been doing that today since I got home, but there is still a bit of pain on the on the bottom near the outside of my foot.  I have even convinced he needs to massage my foot.  I know that a few of you have struggled with Plantar Fasciitis, what are your suggestions so I can make it through my 1/2 Marathon in a week?
