I haven't updated in forever, mostly because it's been pretty glum running-wise. I did have plantar fasciitis, and it has been sheer hell. I had to cut running down to a couple of miles once a week, and it was awful every time I ran. I'm to the point now where I can run 4-5 times a week and do longer distances, but I'm still much slower than I used to be (I also managed to gain about 10 pounds--lack of running + depression about not running and then eating because I felt sad. Lots of biking and strength training just wasn't the same for me as running).
Anyway. I've missed charting my runs and I need the motivation it gives me; last week I ran 4 times but missed one of my planned runs and I just need to be accountable.
So.
4.5 miles on the treadmill today; 9:05 overall pace (I have to start no faster than a 10-minute mile and gradually work my way up over the first mile, otherwise my foot hurts too much to keep going). Stopped for water at 30 minutes when I was at 3.3 miles, which gave me a good point to time the last little bit, so 8:56/mile for the last 1.2 miles.
