New Insoles / 8.31 + 1
I am going to start including my distance in my post headings. I picked up some new insoles today and asked my helper guy how long they should last. He said they should last a year or 1000 miles! I got them in October and I know I haven't run 1000 miles since then. Maybe half that is a reasonable estimate. So either the recurrence of this right foot/hamstring problem is not related to worn out insoles or I've been running hard and beating them up! Actually, I have really high arches. And the problem is not even anywhere near as bad as it was before. So maybe that arch is just starting to wear down enough that I notice it. I absolutely can tell I'm wearing something different, especially on my right foot. Anyway, I'll create a new Label for this set and then I can pull that label and grab the distance run from my header.
Bart and I ran today! We went over to RRS and I got new insoles and he was fitted for new shoes. And then we ran/walked a mile. It was really fun! We are going to find a 5K to do in a couple of months.
After that, I ran 8.31 miles. My normal route. It was a good run - beautiful day. My foot feels a little achy, I suppose due to the higher and harder arch. I'll take some ibuprofen and that should help.
I finally think I have that headache knocked out. It wasn't as bad when I woke up today as it was yesterday but it was still a problem. I took a second pill and by 15 minutes I couldn't feel the headache anymore. For a couple of hours after I would get some random stabbing pains that would last maybe 10 minutes but that ended around 1:30 and I've felt really good since. Picked up a prescription today of those pills and I'll be better about taking them next time.

So much news here I don't know where to begin! I'm wondering how long these orthotics are supposed to last, too. Never asked that. Glad to hear about Bart! Good for him! And I hope the headaches are under control.
