| | TOUGH boot camp this morning with intervals--running laps in between the weights. Figured I did about a mile and a half. I was going to go run 3 mi after boot camp for my training but was simply too tired. I had a hard time getting thru all the workout at boot camp and was honestly wishing for gu. Weird. So no official run for me today but hoping it will make my 5 miler tomorrow be amazing. |

| | Weird foot/ankle/heel issues! Been there for a while now. Took the weekend off with the hopes of it just needing rest. Wore my Mizuno's which are technically worn out but do have more support. Really just hoping it is a shoe issue since the Saucony's are the only time I strayed away from Mizunos. We will see...... | |

| | Speed workout today. 400 x 5. My lungs felt like they were on fire! I know it will make me faster though, so I do love it. I have heard so many people say they think my heel pain is plantar fasciitis. I dismissed it because the pain wasn't on the bottom of my foot. However, I do fit every other symptom--most pain when crawling out of bed in the morning or after sitting for quite sometime or after standing all day (teaching). Any one have experience with this?? How do I fix it? I read to wear shoes with more cushion and stability so I dug my old Muzunos out of the closet. I also have been icing after each run. Ideas, thoughts, experiences welcome!

| | The run itself felt oh so good this morning! However, in logging this run 5 hours later, my foot is screaming! SNAP! What to do......what to do? Dr. appt is not until Sept 14, almost halfway thru my training. Just not sure how to proceed. The mind says YES, the body is saying eerrcchh!!! Grrrrr. | |
