I am back to long runs on the weekend (for now) weather permitting, of five or more miles. Yeah! It feel great to be moving again and making progress. I have been focusing on staying on pace. I'm not sure what the pace truly is, but I do feel like I am steady all the way through the run. Yesterday I completed 7.22 miles in an hour and eighteen minutes. Four minutes and 7 tenths of mile longer than last week's run. I just wish I didn't live on a hill, because I coming home invloves an uphill trudge at the end of the run. Good for training, bad on the brain.
One of the greatest joys I have experienced in my running is spending time away on my terms. If it weren't for dodging the taffic where I live it would be nirvana. As it is right now I spend half of the time on sidewalks and half of it on the road. I am looking forward to the snow melting so I can occassionally run the rail trail.
The most exciting thing this week was waking up and not feeling extreme pain in my foot. I don't yet believe that my plantar faciitis is subsiding, I need at least a week to start falling for that one.
