I'm back baby!  I started my run just wanting to test out the plantar then did oh so much more.  The first few steps yeilded absolutely no pain so I decided to continue on with a run with intentions of testing it out for a few miles.  Early on, from 1/4 mile to 2 miles I could notice the plantar but there's no way I'd describe it as pain.  After that even the slight noticing went away until around mile 6 or 7 and then even after that it was still only a slight notice.  I'd say the plantar was 95% today which was much more than I was hoping for.  Now the big thing is going to be how it responds to today's run.  I ran very relaxed and comfortable the whole way so I didn't push it by going fast which is what would previously make it worse.  In the previous couple of weeks on regular runs it'd improve from day to day so hopefully we'll see that trend continue.  I think at worst I might see slight regression but even now 2 hours after the run it feels very loose and I have yet to ice it.  I'm going to wait and put off any thing fast and on the track for a few weeks to make sure it's all better.  Right now though I'm very pleased with the progress from the past 4 days of not running.

Running hard workouts with "easy" runs at 6:10 pace for recovery has gradually made it worse. Not running at all for a couple of days has made it dramatically better. This tells me you would do very well with a 6 day schedule (1 day completely off when you relax, get good sleep, and do other healthy stress-free activities), and possibly easing off to 6:40 pace on the recovery runs. Maybe run one mile in the middle in 5:10 to get rid of the boredom, then ponder the feelings you had on that mile for the rest of the run. Or find a slower training partner. If you are not married, maybe find a girl to run with. Or at least she could ride a bike with you. If she rides a bike, make sure she is either a very entertaining talker, or a very good listener. Your mind should not be on the pace. Otherwise, you'll be going 5:45 or faster trying to show off how cool you are.

Good luck Saturday. There should be a great pack of runners chasing after Hall.

Thanks Mike. I think I'll be chasing from pretty far behind though.
