Notes
77 deg / humid / raining 1st 2.5 miles
Fast walked ~1 mi prior & drills. Had PT yesterday and right foot ached. Ran 3.2 miles straight (to the BOA). However, when I started left foot ached and thus focused on very quick short steps to minimize stress to both plantar fascia and at an "easy pace". And there was thunder, then lightening, and raining so tried to run under trees. Even though things felt a little rough towards the end of mile 2 was able to maintain cadence. I started to feel the "struggle" going up Park South to Fairview, and once again mile 3 felt more and more of a struggle (felt like I got a stitch at 2.5 miles which fortunately dissipated). The final 1/2 mile to BOA felt more and more of a struggle where I had really concentrate not to lose cadence (felt "forced"). After accessing ATM, resumed and left foot really hurt for next 30 sec (almost prompting me to stop) but then subsided --and since I had stopped for 2 min, it was like I was running in "slow motion" vs. a struggle (and the real pace aligned w/how slow things felt).
