| Happy 4th of July! Last night, I went to bed wearing a Strassburg Sock to stretch my left foot while sleeping to help cure my plantar fasciitis. The sock, if adjusted properly, exerts a light stretch of the foot throughout the night. Although some users find the sock uncomfortable, I had no problem sleeping with it. I'm really determined to cure my problem. I have also bought some arch support insoles that can be custom fitted at home by warming them in the oven. More news on the insoles later. Today was my typical combo workout: 51 minutes on my stationary bike, stretching and core strength work followed by a 45 minute trail run. The weather was really warm today for the run. Even though the trail course has some shade, it was really warm and I felt slightly dehydrated today. My goal today was a total of 2 hours working out, anticipating indulging a little bit tonight for the 4th of July. After the run, my body really demanded calories and after lunch, I also had the first peanut butter & jelly sandwich I've had in months. It was good!

| Last night was a late night out to attend a 4th of July party in the San Diego village of La Jolla. Being in a celebratory mood, I ignored my normal healthy diet and indulge in some ribs and ice cream and drank 2 beers. I will go months between beers, but this gathering was special. As a result, I was late to bed and early to rise this morning, but had a good trail run with members of the Fallbrook Running and Walking Club. Temps were clear and mild with beautiful vistas around every turn. Several challenging hills on the course, but the entire run was on dirt surface. After the run, I returned home and did 30 minutes on my spin bike at a moderate pace. Longer run tomorrow. |
