Two goals for today: 1) run easy to 'massage' the leg muscles before tomorrow and 2) try out a new pair of Keen trail running shoes and new inserts. I have plantar fiscitis in my right foot that acts up anytime I am running (not while I'm running but when my life actually involves running). The new inserts place the heel below the arch so I have high hopes that the pain will subside. I love the Keen's but will probably not wear them tomorrow. I'm not willing to risk running 12 miles on new shoes regardless how well I like them or how good they felt for 2 miles. I am, however, going to wear my new inserts in my old 'new' shoes (just got them 2 weeks ago). I've been wearing the inserts in both my Keen's and NB's around the house with very little pain. I don't know if they work that well or that quickly, it may be phsychological, but hey, I'll keep wearing them until time proves differently.
Weighed in at 199.5 this morning! Breaking the 200 mark is very satisfying.
Next up...the Norris Dam 20k Trail Run! Update tomorrow.
