My left foot was hurting on Sunday, so I thought I better take the day off and today I got up at 5:55 for a 12k run. Once out the door, in rather cold weather, I started up the street and again my left foot arch was giving me pain so after 100m I decided to bag it and go back to bed.
This minor issue is becoming a major concern with less than a month to go before the marathon. Now is prime training time. Maybe I should take a few more days off?
To make matters worse, my Garmin froze up. I couldn’t even get any kind of beep out of it, either by pushing buttons, pressing the dial, or even trying to charge it. This evening, it had gone completely blank so I plugged it in and it started to charge which is a good sign. Maybe it will come back to life.
