Sadly, I had to take the last month off from running due to a flare-up of plantar faciitis. I did, however, manage to do a TON of cycling in the beautiful fall weather and I even managed to lose a couple of pounds! Yippee. Just went for a run to see if I would feel any pain. Thankfully, I did not. Tomorrow morning will be the real test, though, to see if there is any sort of pain whatsoever. If there is, I will resume cycling for a couple of more weeks and go for another test run. Today, I ran 6 miles, 90% of which was on grass at the park. Managed to average about a 9:00/mile pace which isn't too bad running on grass and not having done any running at all for a whole month. |
