After two days of rest and no running, I decided to try for a 10 mile long run today and it went fairly well, though around mile 4 there was a little bit of pain around the outside bottom of my right foot. It didn't really change anything or effect my running but it did worry me, but when I looked up plantar fasciitis it doesn't really describe what I am feeling which is confusing and has me worried as my St. Louis Half is 3 weeks from tomorrow.
I ran 10 miles in 1:49:58 with an average pace of 11 min/mile which was slower than my last 10 mile run by 10 minutes. My splits were:
Mile 1 - 11:33
Mile 2 - 11:08
Mile 3 - 11:24
Mile 4 - 11:31
Mile 5 - 11:08
Mile 6 - 10:59
Mile 7 - 10:55
Mile 8 - 10:51
Mile 9 - 10:24
Mile 10 - 10:02
Overall it wasn't bad, though I am concerned about the foot pain and hoping that it doesn't get worse or cause me to have to cancel ANY of my half marathons. I will take it easy tomorrow, with some stretching and then go for an easy run Monday afternoon.
