Wednesday - 14 miles

Well, Disneyland was successful. I wore my Garmin and ended-up walking about 8 miles! I know, that's weak, but I was just curious. Certainly a fat burning special. The kids had a freakin' ball. That would be all four of us. Despite the mid-day heat, by the end of the day we were flying around hitting rides, laughing and working-up a hunger, which we addressed at a nice little Italian joint in Downtown Disney. Got home around 10:30. Big day. Everyone worn-out. - I have to find my camera USB so I can down load some pics.

Tuesday - Off. Back at work and still nursing (probably more anxiety driven) my PF. Getting better though due to the stretching, wearing better supportive non-running shoes, and following all of the killer advice I've been getting from some very generous people who know their sh*t!

Today I ran 14 miles, avg. HR 147, ~8:30 pace. My legs became fairly sore during the last 5 miles, but the pain was actually refreshing. The plantar fascia felt better. I think I was just a little sluggish, plus I haven't been stretching enough and my diet has been pretty lame. On the upside, my legs feel good right now.

Sunday - 1:30 bike ride

I decided to spend another day off the feet and ride my bike instead. This has been more or less a recovery week, so the bike ride is apropos. Some athletes recover better than others. I might be one to over-do things a bit, not that I'm in some sort of serious training regimen, but training for May 17th has me on a schedule. Trevor Glavin responded to my question about his recovery, which consists of taking 1-2 days off during that week, maybe more! That guy has some results to support his training. Two weeks ago I ran 50 miles, last week 58 and this week 30 miles. That's my recovery week. I took two days off, ran three days and cross-trained the other two days.

Tomorrow I have quite a day: Disneyland with wife, child and niece. I'm giddy just thinking about it.

Saturday - 8+ miles

a.m. 8+ miles, 8:20 pace, avg. HR 145. Nice and aerobic. Also, I taped my feet per someone's advice. I found a couple of tape jobs on-line. I'll experiment. My first tape job and it was pretty successful, I guess. My feet felt better, more secure, less pain though still a little in my left heel. I'm going to take great care of these dogs. Huge priority.
