I ran this with Jill. The original intention was to only run around 10k, but Jill was keen to run 7 miles, which was a personal distance record for her, so we ran an extra mile. It was cold and breezy with a little rain in the air, and that made for a fairly comfortable run in some very nice neighborhoods. The pace was of course very slow, but more comfortable than last Thursday's nightmare, so no complaints this time.
My right shin was sore, perhaps more than yesterday, but after the first couple of miles, I didn't really notice it. My left heel and arch were very painful for a short period at around the 3 mile mark and for a while I even thought I might have to stop, but it too seemed to pass. So, hopefully nothing too concerning.
Jill was pretty happy with her new record, and it underlines what I was talking about the other day. There will be good days and bad days. Sunday was a bad day for Jill, today was a good one. It was very encouraging for her I think.
This might be my last run until Sunday. I don't see the point in risking injury on a short run, so unless I feel great on Friday, I'm going to cross train on the bike instead and rest up for the weekend where I'll be shooting for 11 miles. Of course, I've been known to change my mind, so....
