Run
Comments: I wasn't sure how this would go since I had a new bout of Plantar Fasciitis flare up in my right foot about 3 weeks before the race! I had an abrupt and drastic taper. I felt pretty good until about mile 17 when my foot started throbbing, my body was yelling at me, and I was just tired. That lasted until about mile 21 when I think I got a second wind, embraced the pain and the suck, and pushed on as hard as I could. What would you do differently?: Not get PF! Post race
Warm down: Hobbled to find my husband and put ice on my foot. I didn't even make him carry me to the car as I had threatened! Event comments: This was my first stand alone marathon. I wasn't sure what to expect. I had drastically changed my goals when the PF set in. I am very happy to have finished, but was a little disappointed with my time. Now I am going to have to do it again to see how I can do when healthy! Last updated: 2014-05-06 12:00 AM
