Yesterday, I started a half marathon training plan for a race that's in January. I haven't run for a while, due to this lung crap, combined with my asthma - I was afraid of either 1) dying or 2) coughing so much that it would be a stumble, and not a run (and potentially gross anyone out in the vicinity, too).
This morning, I get out of bed...and feel the familiar pain in the (right) heel. Presumably the beginning of plantar fasciitis, again. The first (and only) time I had it was when training for the first Moab half marathon, in 2014. I had to take a couple weeks off, no biggie - it was at the beginning of the training plan. This time, however, time is of the essence, because the race is mid-January, and I've taken so much time off. I can't afford to jack with this plan.
Part of the problem, I'm afraid, is a combination of my crappy work shoes (old Sketchers black suede shoes) and the standing desk. I stand at the standing desk constantly, never sitting. Today, I sit. Sigh. Hopefully this works - the only reason I worry about, is because it's a notoriously common and nagging issue. I like to think I'm tougher than that.
