It’s been over a month since my last post and I have to admit running and I are not in a good place right now. Over four weeks ago, after a 20 mile trail run my left foot started to feel sore and I immediately knew it was symptomatic of plantar fasciitis.

It’s MONDAY!! What a chilly weekend it was too. My husband, my two oldest children and myself all ran in a 10K on Saturday and I think it was my coldest race to date!
