Sunday Long Run
Today's long run concluded a productive week. It is a challenge to run an ideal long run course since the terrain is so hilly where I live. The run was a combination of trail, asphalt and severe hills. Weather was good, just a touch on the warm side. Pace: 9:15. My fasciitis flared up pretty good during this run. This happens when I toe push which I try to avoid but hard to prevent on hills. Took an ice bath and some Motrin right after the run. Also molded some arch support insoles that I think will help. I'll start using them this week. At the mid point of my run this morning, I learned that my good friend and fellow athlete Rex Deakins passed away at age 91. He was an active swimmer to the end of his life. I'll be headed to the San Jose area on Weds for services. Staying on my training schedule this week could be tough.
