I’m still recovering form having a few injuries- my plantar fascia is bothering me on my left side, so as a compensation my entire right side has been bothering me. I did Graston yesterday down both legs, which (especially on my right let) should relieve a lot of tension.  And as that heals, the muscle is just going to be more reactive and better. I did an ice bath today to further calm everything down.  I’m hoping, after that much mileage and pilates, I’ll start feeling better by tomorrow- its hard to tell.  Hopefully by Saturday I’ll be able to gauge my progress.

I started wearing the oxy socks again, which is something I don’t do on a regular basis unless I have to because they are so warm.  Realistically, I’ll know something in the next few days.  I’m still going to run in the Bermuda race.  Its only a 10k so even if things go really badly, I should be able to pull through and run halfway decently. Until then, I’m trying to keep my mileage high enough while still healing this injury and making sure I’m keeping a strong base for future races.
