not sure why but foot and leg just not happy.  ran up 1100 north and back down. 8:27 AP.  very steep hill.  entire foot has nerve like pains --- shooting this way and that and up my leg to my calf.  probably will have to stop running again.  need some physical therapy.  

hopeful side note: pray for Madeleine McCann to be found alive.  yes what's done is done.  Pray for her parents to find an end to this sorrow-- alive or passed on.  So many families affected by such crimes of others.  It is heartbreaking to listen and read about.  It has been five years.  She would be 9 years old.

I am sorry your foot and leg were not cooperating today. :( If you are able to run with me tomorrow please promise me you will go slow okay? My legs have felt like lead since my little speed session on Tuesday. Yikes!

Rachelle, I guess I should be smart and take a long bike ride instead. My left plantar fascia is three times as thick as my right foot!! It is scar tissue I presume and it is going no where fast!! IT is affecting my whole foot. Here I go again. Terribly depressing. How long of a bike ride is equivalent to running 14 miles?? I think I will just ride as long as it would take me to run it at a 8:15 to 8:30 pace. Sorry Rachelle... I had hope for a moment there!! :D. still do. hanging on by a thread ; D.

:( I hope your bike ride goes well and I will miss your stories. I am thinking about you but you are right and you need to take care of yourself.

Dang it! I was hoping to hear good things like last time I had a chance to visit your blog. Wasn't it just two days ago that things were feeling a bit better?? What the heck!

Sorry Julie, injuries and recovering from them is such a roller coaster! I think you're right about the bike ride, especially if you do some nice rolling hills and pushes.
