I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

My chaffing looks a little better today. I was going to get up and run but a new problem presented itself. I think I may have planters fascaitis. I had a couple twinges of pain after hobblecreek and then everything was fine but last night I'd been wearing NO CUSHION flip flops while shopping at Costco and my left foot started to hurt. I thought it would be okay so got my running stuff out for this morning but when I got up at 5:00 it was still hurting.

I went over to teach my class at the Stake Center and everyone was very talkative this morning so the workout wasn't the greatest so that's why only 3 miles for it. I am getting a little frustrated teaching these women. They complain that they are out of shape but as I'm trying to tell them what to do, they stop and talk. Oh well, their problem but it makes me mad cuz I have a gym membership and I could teach other places at that time. I'm not doing it for me (well kind of-for experience) but they will never better themselves if they don't put the effort forth. Okay-enough complaining. I'm just mad cuz I couldn't do everything I wanted to today. But I have been wearing my running shoes all day and I'm hoping to get out and run some this afternoon or evening if my foot doesn't bug me. It didn't bug me while teaching so maybe it is just bruised. Who knows.

PM-Ran 7.7 nice tempo run 8:00 pace. Felt good. Left leg hurt a little for a while I think cuz I was a little tensed up with my foot but relaxed around 3 miles and felt a lot better.

It sounds like it could be plantar! Mine flares up and then goes away if I stretch it a lot during the day, and ice it when I can. The sell socks at Wasatch Running that keep your feet flexed all night, and people seem to like those (so I made my own--I can show you how!). If it is plantar, at least it is something you can keep under control!

We need to get you a job at Bodyworks. We are all very serious there. We talk and laugh, but we work our butts off!

Good luck getting healed. Swear at them at the stake center, that should get their attention.

Kelli-You need to remind the Body Works dude that I am interested in teaching. I've kind of dropped the ball a bit because of training but I'll be ready to roll soon.

Cheris-You will totally have to show me your homemade socks:)

Thanks for your well wishings Paul. I think you're right, I should swear at them and maybe they'll quit being so dang lazy!

Michelle, I'm glad you were able to run today. Jerry said to tell you to try rolling a tennis ball with your foot. He had the same problem when he was running more.

Michelle take a small paper cup (like a dixie cup)and fill with water and freeze, then take the paper part off and roll your foot on it. Ices and massages it at the same time, it helped me last year when I started to get a touch of PF.

From Michelle N. on Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 23:30:47

Thanks all for the advice on my foot. I think I'll try a tennis ball tonight and freeze in a cup and do that tomorrow. This blog is so great to have people help:) Thanks.
