Miles run in 2009

It is torture to for me to cut my mileage by 50%. If you don't know, I have plantar fasciitis and my foot doctor told me to take it easy. I know it is good for me. My foot and heel are feeling so much better. It is so nice to be able to wake up in the morning and walk down the stairs without foot pain. Let me stress, its just so nice to walk without foot pain. I hope next week, my doctor will let me go back to my normal mileage. Please!

Later today I will be taking off my foot wrap. It is been a wonderful three days with that on my foot. Really it has helped, but it is a pain when trying to take a shower. I figured out a good way to keep the foot wrap dry in the shower. First put a Ziploc bag on your foot. Zip it up as far as it can go, then tightly duct tape it near the top of the bag. Always duct tape near the top of the bag. Next put a garbage bag on over the Ziploc bag and tightly duct tape it at the mid-calf level. Lastly, get another garbage bag and put it over the other bags. Again tightly duct tape this one as high as it can go. My last bag was right below my knee. It is an easy way of keeping a foot wrap/cast dry. Taking off the bags were a breeze. The duct tape came off quickly on my shaved legs.
