So yesterday definitely took its toll on my feet, going to have to come up with a better solution for the plantar fasciitis than basically ignoring it (imagine that that didn't work, HA!) Truth by told, I have been resting, stretching, and rolling my feet, I focused on stride and landing midfoot instead of heel, but I truly don't think that that is where my problem lies. I think I stood too long and for too many days in very cute, but very non-supportive shoes (we're talking more than 100 12 hour shifts... nice work kid). So, only supportive shoes from now on. Also, in the morning I plan to find a store that carries Strassburg socks and we're going to give that a go. Research has been most consistent in support of this method. The sock is knee high and basically has a strap that runs from the toes to the anterior tibial plateau and can be tightened to put the foot in different degrees of dorsiflexion and puts the fascia on stretch while you sleep/rest, etc etc. People have had the most comfort with this, and the quickest results, so the hunt begins tomorrow.
In the meantime, no workout today, woke up feeling crappy, so I slept in instead. Long and busy 12 hours at work, but good all in all. Off tomorrow, game plan? Not sure yet. Need to standardize my training a little bit, instead of just doing a workout here and a workout there. I'm getting in good distances and times when I do it, but its all very haphazard, imagine :) Tomorrow part of the game plan is sitting down with my schedule book and building my workouts into my calendar, certainly may make it easier to wake up in the morning when an extra 1.5 hours of sleep sound a whole lot better than a 77 degree pool. Bike need a tune up, perhaps I'll head to the gym, swim/lift and then bike shop with an afternoon bike ride. We'll see how it all plays out I suppose. For now, core work, rolling my feet, and bed.... sounds wonderful :)
