So, I tried. And I did a fairly decent job. I've made two trips to Utah to be with my dad, who is very sick, and I've done most of my runs... nearly all of them. But I think it's fallen apart a bit too much, and I need to rebuild. So I had an idea. This is week 7, and today is the first day I need to run. Here are some scenarios:
- Run the Week 6 schedule this week, and follow along until the step-down week in Week 9; skip the Week 9 schedule and get back on track at Week 10.
- Run the front end of Week 6 schedule this week, but do the weekend schedule for Week 7; you're back on track.
- Go ahead and run the Week 7 schedule, just take more breaks.
I did hurt my R plantar fascia in the middle of the night while moving my dad; I was standing on the hard hospital floor in bare feet and helped a nurse boost him up the bed. I put all my weight (and a good portion of his) on that lateral part of my PF and felt it riiiiiiip. Ouch. I've been doing Motrin and I've been trying to give it a rest. I wonder if a 3 vs. 4 mile run would matter much today. Only one way to find out.
Update:Okay, this might just be fine. I did a nice 4-miler on the Old Ranch Road trails here in Park City. Man, is this a great place to run!
