alright Pittman Wash 6.03 mi 01:31 15:03 pace
First walk out in a week. Heel that had the shot felt worse than the one that didn't have the shot. Slow. Thanks for pacing me, Terri!

You're an Inspiration:
I hope your heels get better. Was hoping that shot would make a bigger difference. Cheers to you for keeping at it Sara, I'm proud of you!

When my son came back from a military training for a month he had to get 2 of them before he felt better, he also had to wear this air cushion insole thing. I can't remember what they called what he had but it feels all better.

I cured plantar f with strasburg socks and accupucture. Call Dr. Vink Link at 444-4775. He is great and fixed plantar f and shin splints for me in 2 treatments. Near the corner of Jones and Sahara.

In 2011, I ran 440 miles, the equivalent of running from Las Vegas to Reno. This year, I'm hoping to run the equivalent of Las Vegas to San Francisco, or Vegas to Denver, CO, or more!

Mapped it out: just shy of 10.5 miles in 2:15-ish, which is just over a 13 minute /mile pace. Which... probably means I pushed a bit too hard on those last few miles, but boy did it feel good!

In one week, I'm starting P90x2. This may not be a good thing to do immediately before the WDW half, but I gotta start again somewhere!

Bob and I are planning to do Power 90 after we return from WDW. We are going old school though, we bought the program before they added the X!

Legs of Lead! Heels have been acting up again. KT taped up for plantar fasciitis, but still pain. :( Need to better roll out my calf muscles and up into my thighs.

Sara - try this for our PF
1) put on some thin socks (even nylons will do) then go walk on some jagged rocks. You know, like the desert landscape. Do this for several days.
2) Roll your foot with a hard ball, like a golf ballFinally - you have heard me mention it, but I would highly recommend learning ChiRunning. It's an overall form to prevent injuries.
Merry Christmas and hope to see you soon!

1) Does walking on cat toys count? 'Cause I do that on a regular basis! :D
2) Oh, yes. I have to keep reclaiming my tennis balls from my cats. They think that they're their toys!ChiRunning... Is there a class/instructor/book/video that I can learn more about this?

LOL 1) No 2) Tennis Balls aren't effective, they are not hard (they are actually hollow inside. You need a hard golf ball or see my #1. As far as ChiRunning - all you need to learn about their products is found at their website. www.ChiRunning.com - have you checked there, yet? I bought the book & DVD through Amazon.com - then took the workshop. Takes about 4-6 weeks to learn and get in the groove, but SO worth it. I have been 9 months running injury free. Can't beat that!
