I’ve been dealing with sore feet a bit, a mild case of plantar fasciitis and figured after the Mt Ashland Hill Climb it would be good to take some time off and heal up 99 to 100%! Well after six months off running, but still walking, stretching and MTB, I went for a run. It felt really good to be back out on a trail in the misty early morning.

Stoked to hear Ryan Ghelfi talk about the local 100 miler here, Pine to Palm 100!

So I’ve been a bit out of the running scene. I’ve managed to have a slight pain in my Plantar, so I haven’t been putting in the miles… I wasn’t going to do this race even though I signed up for it 6 months before with all the ambition in the world to dominate myself in it. I just hadn’t been feeling like stressing my feet more than I should and end up with some kind of “life long debilitating deal” that will not allow me to continue a semi-active life… After watching every known yoga video and physical therapist on YouTube talking about Plantar Fasciitus, I took full responsibility to heal up as well as I could and just maybe run this race. I stopped running long distances in mid June and began stretching, massaging and strengthening my feet as best I could. I ran shorter distances in a variety of shoes and even a few runs in my Xero 4mm sandals to keep my feet strong and flexible.

I run 3 to 4 days a week to stay in decent shape. I work with computers 5 days a week, plus a long evening often on the weekend with some of my own projects which often negates the amount of exercise I get. Needless to say, I am connected to the max!
