After 3 days of modest runs (10 minute segments) wearing my new orthotics,  there are mixed results.  I have experienced no discomfort or pain in my right Achilles tendon. That would be a dramatically  positive  result. But the response from my left plantar fascia  has been less than positive.   After my workout  last night I had a feeling like a bruise on my left instep. It has lessened this morning and was not terribly sensitive during physical therapy today when my therapist massaged the area.  As I rest on the couch right now, both of my feet are experiencing mild burning sensations. It must be that I am still becoming accustomed to the pressure from the orthotics on my feet.  I think a few minutes of stretching will help.

Sunday’s workout @ clubhouse –  10 bike, 10 elliptical, 10 run on treadmill,  10 water run + wright’s

Stats –

I-Mad = 2

I-Mid = 5 ?

a.m.HR =54BPM

Weight = #153

Sleep = 6 hours.   Need a nap!  I have not yet totally adjusted my night-time schedule to the fact that I am waking up earlier for rehab appointments at 8 a.m. The result is I’m getting more like 6 hours sleep per night then my usual 9 or 10 for the last 3 weeks.
