http://nathanpowell.org/blog a blog about running and Linux. Why? What are you into? Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:46:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en *sigh* I am still hurt. My heel doesn't seem to be getting any better. I paid for some xrays on Wednesday and there was no apparent fracture so that is good. But the pain seems worse at times and then totally gone at others. I have ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/710 Ok, after sitting here resting the heel for 40 minutes, I stood up and it hurt like hell. That settles it. I will be riding the bike tomorrow. Which will give it at least 3 days of no running. Better to miss now, and get back to training ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/709 I am not convinced I have PF I don't really know what it is. My heel hurts, but it's on the back of the heel, not the bottom. If you were standing, and touched the back of your foot closest to the ground in the center, that ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/708 I like that I had talked myself into the idea that I was going to actually run 8:40's. I fool only myself. I just put this up as a novelty. Bill had brought his Flip Cam to the race so we were dorking around with it. Those things ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/707 Decided that since I am cutting back on the mileage this week instead of doing my scheduled 8 miler this morning, I would bookend 3 mile bike rides with a 4 mile run in the middle. Except for being up until 2:30 drinking beer and then getting up at ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/706 Last week I was having heel pain. Because PF is nothing you should mess with, I promptly took 3 days off with no running. Yesterday however I was scheduled to run the Spirit of Gettysburg 5K. I figured I would shoot for a ~27:xx time and just ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/705 My week is already getting crazy with things I need to accomplish and running goals that need to be met. I am going to take a bit of a step back though. I have been overdoing it, albeit on purpose somewhat, in an effort to build a strong base. ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/704 I just ground my quads to hamburger on a 10 miler. Between the heat, skipping my off day and running primarily on pavement today, my legs are pretty sore. On the upside I finally tried a gel while running. I took it at 7 miles into the ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/703 An extra run got tossed on the training this week. Because of the holiday yesterday I decided that I would run an additional 5 at Pine Grove Furnace. Then my regularly scheduled 5 miler today brings me to another 30 mile week. I have a little soreness in the quads ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/702 All kinds of mile stones around here. 30 mile week, 100 mile month, and now 1 year smoke free. On July 2nd, 2007 at 10:18 pm, I put out my last cigarette and went to bed. I haven't smoked since. I wish I had some sage advice to ... http://nathanpowell.org/blog/archives/700
