Not Born to Run?

Well, it has been a good week.  Bike on Sunday, Run on Monday and Swim on Tuesday, all good workouts, felt relatively easy, trying to keep my heartrate in the zone.  The only hold up?  These silly feet.  The run went ok, I could feel them complaining a little in the beginning but then after that it was fine.  However, the 12 hours of work that followed they screamed the entire time.  Yesterday wasn't much better.  Now it seems to be split, partially my calves, partially my feet.

Not sure what the answer is, probably one I don't want to hear and one that isn't at all feasible with a job that keeps me on my feet 40 hours per week.  I can't help but think, I wasn't born to run.  The problem is, I have to figure out how to run with feet that don't want to.  I have tried changing stride, increasing cadence, and as of yet, nothing has made too much of a difference.  So in the meantime, I will stretch and roll out my feet and calves and hope that persistence and anti-inflammatories do the trick :)

Today I have the day off, and although I slept in I still only got about 7 hours, but I can't imagine not getting going!  The weather is not supposed to be perfect, but the rain is holding off, unlike the past several days.  So, going to throw my bike in the car, and take a ride down to the site of the race and hopefully do a brick workout, we'll see if my feet agree with the plan.  Then its back to the shop for a tune up.  Aside from that, a few errands, and marinating the steaks to throw on the grill for dinner!

Off I go, should be a fun day! :)
