Trail Running Granny

I was so excited to run with my Chicks again!!! It has been almost 2 months since I have run with them. I have had to slow down and stay on the trails to get my heels in better shape. I am feeling alot better. It really helps wearing my funny Z-Coil shoes when I am on the road. 

Our pace felt good to me this morning, I was afraid the chicks would leave me in the dust, since I have been slacking in my training lately, but I kept up.  It was a nice run, dark, cool, and fun to feel like I am part of the pack again.  Thanks girls.

I haven't blogged since the fundraiser, it was a huge success!  Such an amazing turnout. Marion came all the way up from Payson, it was so fun to meet her  handsome husband and adorable kids.  Thank you Marion!!!  I am mad that I didn't introduce her to Lisa, my mind was a little befuddled.... okay totally befuddled! 

I am excited to really have a nice fall running season,  and enjoy TOU and ST. George!!!!!!

Met the chicks at 5:30 and it was raining, so walked over to the indoor track and did about 3 miles. 

My heels are feeling better, but I am going to try  and get into a podiatrist and get it checked over, ASAP! 

Have a great day everyone!

Met the chicks again at 5:30 and did a neighborhood loop, I feel like I am starting all over, but am pleased I can keep up with them.  I am huffing a lot more than they are. My average pace was 13:21 because I turned on my garmin as I left the house and walked over to Jennys.  mile 1-16:39 (walking about half the mile) mile 2-12:17 (up hill) mile 3 12:59 ( up and down)  mile 4 11:20 ( up and down).  Boy, that was real technical stats!  Any way, it was a good run, pushed just hard enough to get a good work out but not over do it, the heels are feeling good.

I saw the doc and got a referral to see the podiatrist on Monday, she thinks if I have PF it is a very minor case. I didn't feel pain when she was pushing my heel, she said most people jump out of their chair. I think it is due to my icing and new insoles and exersizes and my Z Coil shoes.   Things are looking up!!!

Jenny, Lisa and I walked this morning, we did the Cottonwood Heights 5K route, did a lot of talking, ended up talking about  the old days in Tonga, some of those memories have been buried in the back of my head for years.  Makes me appreciate my life now. God Bless America.

I started out with the chicks for an 8 mile run, and bailed out at 6.  My heels were a little tender, and my family was heading up to Deer Creek to go on the Hobie Cat. 

I have an appt. with the podiatrist Monday, and can't wait to see what help he can give me.
