Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

10.2 miles with Sasha in 1:17:xx.  I could still feel the plantar fascia acting up a bit when I ran, but there was no pain.

Can't remember the time for today's run, but it was in the evening.  The plantar fascia was pretty tight, but again no pain while running.

My plantar fascia hurt at the beginning of my run today, and I almost turned around and went home.  However, the pain went away after about a mile, and my foot felt decent for the rest of the run.

Today I ran from work to the doctor's office where we had an appointment for Anita.  I will count that as 2.25 miles.  I then walked home with Kimia, and finished my run later on in the evening running 8 more miles.  Total time for 10.25 miles was 1:16:51.  My plantar fascia didn't really hurt at all during the run, but it didn't necessarily feel good either.

1:16:48 for 10.1 miles this morning.  I got out of the house late because I was massaging my plantar fascia, and then I had to run fast at the beginning of the run in order to make up the time.  So, any benefit that I got from the massage was negated by my running under 6:30 pace for the first 1.5 miles.  My foot felt decent during the first half of the run, but it started to act up a little later on.

I ran most of this workout easy, hitting the halfway mark in 1:12:53.  We ran the last 3+ miles faster (17:35), and hit the last quarter in 76 seconds.  Total time was 2:18:32.  My plantar fascia was still sore during the workout, but for today at least it felt better if I ran more on my forefoot, although I switched back and forth during the workout because I can't run exclusively on my forefoot without messing myself up.  My left calf near the achilles was actually pretty sore afterwards, but I am hoping that my plantar fascia will be better off for it.
