June 10th, Sunday

I enjoyed a lovely breakfast this morning with Arlene, Rob and Kristen in Manasquan. It is very rare that we can all get together these days because of their busy schedules.

It was a chilly, rainy day; perfect for a track workout.  I set out for the Jackson Liberty track with the hope I could complete some quicker running on the softer surface without doing damage to my heel which continues to pain. Unfortunately my heel never completely stopped taking during the entire workout but I ran through the discomfort. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not. I guess tomorrow and the next few days will tell. I have a vague memory of previous plantar fasciitis events when the discomfort remained the  same whether I ran or rested. And then somehow it just disappeared without explanation.  I am hoping for that  result.

The 45 minutes on the track consisted a slow warm-up, then a series of pickups run at a seven to seven and a half minutes pace. I did about 8 x 100s, 2 x 200s and 1 x 400m.  Aerobically I continue to feel very strong, hampered only by the soreness my heel from doing much longer workouts.  It did feel very good to get my body in motion on the ground. Swimming and biking are okay, but running I love!
