runnin with a friend

Difficult run this morning due to gi issues! Arghh! Otherwise just easy miles today with temps quite warm for an Idaho morning. 60 plus degrees and a nice breeze. On the plus side, my legs did feel better and stronger. Tuesday I get the inserts and I am hopeful I can continue with pain free runs..... only longer.

Ran in the afternoon with temps around 83 degrees and a nice breeze. Still, it is a bit warm for me but I hacked out the run. I had to be at work early this morning so I didn't get the run in early. A pain free run today! I did get my inserts today  so I will try them out in the morning. I will for go the KTTape and see if the inserts make the difference. For the price they should do the laundry and mow the lawn.

Nice morning with temps in the low 50's and a nice breeze. Ran with the new inserts and didn't feel them after 2 miles. All 7 miles were pain free so we are making some progress! Can't believe how much they want for them. Oh well, if they help they will be well worth it. Ran a few miles at marathon pace which felt good for a change.

Temp around 52 or so..... no wind and lots of blue sky once the sun came out. Ran to work this morning. Just a slight bit of pain in the ankle after 6 miles so I cut the run a little short and went to work earlier. I might tape up along with the inserts tomorrow and see if that helps me go a little further. All in all I am pleased. Some muscle soreness in my lower legs and I believe that is from the orthotics. I think that they would drive me crazy if I walked in them. Running is just fine. Avg pace 8:15 for the run.

No ride home today so I decided to run....that was my only option. Pleasantly surprised on how the ankle felt. Pain free miles and felt ok.  Temps in the low 80's and a very nice breeze to help me tolerate the summer heat. Wow.... I might be in the 40's for mileage by the end of the week. Its about time!

Ran in the evening with temps at 78 degrees. Okay, I'm not as use to the orthotics as I would like to be. I'm going to try to run half my miles with them next week. I might be putting too much mileage on them to start with. The doctor did say to slowly run in them. I guess 26 miles in 3 days isn't what he had in mind.

Ran with Sheridan after work today in temps around 80 degrees with a slight breeze. Ran along the hills around Iona and back to his house. I need a day off for sure. Hoping that next week I will have some life in the legs. No orthotics today, just the KTTape. Trouble free miles. I just need to get the power back into the legs.
