I just finished the Seattle Rock n Roll marathon; I have been treating plantar fascia and was concerned about the stress on my foot. It's amazing the amount of pain you can endure when you put your mind to it. My thought was eventually it will go numb and I won't be able to feel it, true enough that's what happened and I finished the race. It wasn't my fastest run but considering the circumstance I'm proud of myself.

My next race is The Ragnar Relay.....185 miles, from Canada to Whidbey Island. We are running as an ultra team and I have requested the toughest leg. 37 miles, sometimes I need to check my sanity level because it is lacking here.

I need to take it easier for a week or two. My plan is to ride my bike, get an elliptical and continue strength training. If I can't run again soon I will go nuts! I have 3 more distance races scheduled this year and some short ones.

Acupuncturists and massage therapists are my new best friends!
