Feeling better

October 18th, Wednesday

After practice today I went for a 5.59 mile bike ride.  I stopped halfway through the ride to run 4 times 120 yd. strides.  With my foot feeling basically painless, decided that this would be a test of some basic running on the grass. These straightaways still leave me quite breathless: an indication to me that I am not in strong aerobic shape. But my feet felt okay and I jumped back on the bike to complete the ride. Afterward I continued to treat my sore heel with rolling and golf ball pressure. As a result on Thursday  I felt minimal discomfort in the morning. This continues to be a positive development.

It was nice to be able to catch seventh-grader Ryan O’Rourke run his cross country meet down the road from Liberty High School at the middle school.  Ryan ran a respectable 33rd Place out of a total of 66 competitors.
