      I get the same problem with my PF on my left foot. I use an arch wrap. It's reusable. It's like $5 on Amazon. Works well. I even use it during runs.

    This run felt pretty good today. I should have got on the bike though. I need to make sure I'm changing it up bc the Cap Tex Tri will be here before I know it. I'll get out to the pool tomorrow.

    Houston Chevron half marathon 13.1 mi 01:33 07:06 pace

    Paced my buddy the first few miles and then took it easy afterward. That was an extremely competitive race with lots of PR's with the perfect running conditions. I may run that bad boy next year too.
