Here we are again. Had three days off since the hard long run, and have been living it up!!!.. So out this morning, tired and with a bad foot at 7:30 this morning. Was considering an eight miler today, but had to get back for a work call, so just did the usual 5.5 lap. I wore one old and one new shoe today, as my left foot is now very painful under the arch. It seems that my new shoe “lifts” the inside of the arch too much and its causing it to ache. It means I have trouble walking at the moment, which cant be good. I will have to get it iced up and hopefully it will be OK – at least its the only proper pain I have at the moment.
So didn’t bother with a watch or timing today, it was more just to get out there, and other than the foot it felt really good. I even “sprinted” the last three quarters of a mile, and felt great.
Had a bad foot since though, hopefully it will be better by Thursday when I am thinking about doing a 12 – 15 miler, as with Easter coming up, it will be difficult to get a long run in place. Although I am thinking of running to Broad Haven and back on the Sunday – we’ll see..
