And sometimes you just gotta take it! I had been feeling pretty good and went for it. During the workout I felt great. Later on, my left foot was feeling it and even the next morning. I definitely had symptoms of plantar fasciitis. I stretched a lot and used a frozen golfball rolling the bottom of my foot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That workout was also done early in the morning before work and thus done on the road. I&#8217;ve been doing most of my runs lately on nearby Nick&#8217;s Creek Greenway which is much softer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Fortunately, within the next day my left foot\/heel was much better. I think that&#8217;s a great part of being an athlete. You know your body. I know this is part of my body getting used to running again and I&#8217;m feeling quite strong otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So I continued on to week 6 of the c25k program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Week 6 also has 3 different workouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Workout 1 after 5 minute walk warm-up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">5 minutes running<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">3 minutes walking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">8 minutes running<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">3 minutes walking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">5 minutes running<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Again I felt good during and even after. My left foot felt a little achy again but I did the same TLC and the day after it felt pretty good. I did a strength workout and challenging peloton ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This morning I completed workout 2 of week 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">5 minute walk warmup (actually did 10 to walk over to the trail)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">10 minutes running <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">3 minutes walking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">10 minutes running<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So far everything is feeling a-ok! However I will continue to stretch and give my feet some extra TLC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"858\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-6.jpeg?resize=1200%2C858&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1369\" style=\"width:301px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-6.jpeg?w=1819&amp;ssl=1 1819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-6.jpeg?resize=300%2C214&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-6.jpeg?resize=1024%2C732&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-6.jpeg?resize=768%2C549&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-6.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1098&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The next workout, the last one of week 6, is 25 minutes of running!

Then only 2 more weeks left (8 &amp; 9). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I&#8217;m mentally ready and physically feeling strong. It&#8217;s keeping up with the PT exercises and taking it easy as well. And hoping these feet hold up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At times it could be easy to give up or think how I used to run so much farther and faster and with ease. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.webp?resize=1024%2C680&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1370\" style=\"width:361px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.webp?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.webp?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.webp?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Or I could think how I have goals of getting back into trail and ultra distances (that&#8217;s anything longer than a marathon, like 50ks, 50 milers, 100ks, 100 milers +) and how I&#8217;m &#8220;only&#8221; running 20 minutes and that I&#8217;ll never get there&#8230;.or maybe in ??? years! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">However I think back to less than 2 months ago I just started running again and was just doing a total of 8 minutes in 1 minute intervals and now today two 10 minutes for a total of 20 minutes of running &#8230;.so that&#8217;s progress!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I&#8217;m choosing to focus on that. Dreaming my trail dreams and goals. And continuing to move forward one day, one workout, at a time. It&#8217;s definitely not always easy. What&#8217;s the alternative? To quit, yet still have these dreams living inside me and one day have big regrets? I&#8217;d rather keep working toward them and at least try. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1.webp?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1372\" style=\"width:420px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1.webp?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1.webp?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I think that&#8217;s something that applies to everything in life.
