If you've been keeping up with my blog, you know I've been battling plantar fasciitis for over 6 months now. My podiatrist has administered 2 cortisone shots and I'm still in pain. I've also been seeing an acupuncturist and chiropractor regularly.
Still in pain. Less pain, but it's there.
I have yet to run this month.
In fact, I haven't run in over 2 weeks.
My next half marathon is in less than 3 weeks.
Now, I haven't been a complete slug. Admittedly, my nutrition has been spotty, I'm an emotional eater, but I've done better at consistently fasting for at least 16 hours a day. Also, I've done a nice job of working on strengthening my arms and back. I've kept up with my cardio, my husband's rowing machine, and thrown yoga in the mix a few times. Sleep and I are getting along again (I suffer from adrenal fatigue). Hell, I've even taken to napping on the weekends.
So, can it be done? Can I successfully run a half marathon without logging any miles or at least a minimal amount, the month prior?
This half marathon was supposed to be all about time and pace unlike my last one which was about just getting it done. Sigh.
I think I'm going to need to find a way to push myself into leaving it all out on the course. Thankfully, it is flat and fast so my feet shouldn't get too beat up. I'm just itching to get out there and do more than "just get it done."
This will likely be my last big race for awhile as my family is getting ready to make some big changes.
I want to make it a memorable one.
