I was going to post about this yesterday, but I guess I was too tired after my run and and the kinda stressful day we had.
But I did a long run yesterday. 10.3 miles. Really displeased about the time it took me but I am glad I got it done.
I started with the Texas Loop doing the hill 3 times. That gives me 6 miles. Then I did the Kensington Loop and added some distance by running up Adams each time I reached that horseshoe.
It has been so hot, so I got up pretty early so I could be done before it got too warm for running.
My right foot really hurt today. I am wondering if those flatter shoes were good for my right foot, bad for my left. And maybe the greater incline shoes are better for the left and worse for the right! It's hard to know, though, because I also walked two miles from the auto shop in shoes that are not made for traveling such distances. Anyway, I was thinking I could cut an old thin insole toe section and put that in the toe of my right shoe (under the existing insole) to reduce that "differential".
Today was a day off!

WOW! 10+ miles!!! Way to go Julie bird!! I can only imagine that and, at the moment, can't imagine it at all. I don't know how you can do it. And the right foot is hurting? Genetics? that's the foot that's hurting me.
I had a terrible night last night and just had no energy this morning at all. And tomorrow we travel so hope I am able to do something on Wednesday morning. Remains to be seen. You might be the ony one eating an ice cream sundae in March!
See you tomorrow!
Thanks!!! I do feel a lot more confident now about my ability to actually finish it. I was....concerned.
Maybe a bum right foot is genetic! I have a little feeling of plantars in that foot all the time. Sometimes worse than others. But I also have some tendonitis in the ball of my right foot, right at the "little piggie that had none". But that slowly went away with my new shoes. In fact, so slowly that I didn't really notice it. So I did the long run in my new shoes and that foot is back to hurting.
I did cut an old right insole at the arch (so I cut the heel off) and put it under the existing insole. Definately feels different! Tomorrow I'll run like that and see if it helps.
You are in a difficult running situation! I know you'll get some good running in here - as long as you can rest. It's so hard to do when tired.
I refuse to eat a sundae alone! I'll need support!
