Another Week of the Streak

Another week down and another week of keeping up my running streak! This week I didn’t run as many miles as usual. Like last week, I skipped out of my longer mid-week run, due to some plantar fasciitis issues. 

Overall, the pain wasn’t as bad as last week, but on days after I ran more miles, I definitely noticed an issue, and more pain. I’m still trying to see if I can manage the pain with anti-inflammatories, stretching and icing, but the future of the streak is still TBD.

That said, here’s what this week of my 135+ day running streak looks like:  

And some highlights:

My monthly total for August was about 175 miles! That isn’t a record, but still a high-ish month for me. And would’ve been higher if I hadn’t started having plantar issues at the end of the month!

I caught some amazing sunrises this week. I hate it being dark when I run, but I do appreciate a good run-rise!

My parents came into town (there here for the holiday weekend!), which meant lots of walking. They bring their adorable dog, so we take her out several times a day.

And only semi-running related, but LM has started wearing my race medals around (as does FW). It’s cute and a good use for them. 



Hopefully this week continues to bring me healing of my foot. I’ll be stretching and rolling it daily!

Some questions for you:

  • Are you doing anything for the long weekend?
  • Are you still working from home or back in the office?

I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.

    Really hope that your pf feels better. Looks like you still managed a pretty high mileage for the month. Take care of yourself and have a great week ahead

    Your daughter is such a cutie! I hope you can keep that PF quiet. I’ve dealt with it a few times and it’s no fun!

    I can’t remember if this was suggested to you (or you may already be doing it)…have you tried rolling your foot over a frozen water bottle? Also, lots of massaging, first thing (before touching the floor LOL) helped me.

      Thanks!! I am trying the frozen bottle. Plus a gold and tennis ball! Basically anything I can get my hands on ha.

    Wow! So many miles! You are amazing!

    Love that sweet puppy! Puppies make everything better, for sure.

    I hope you get some relief from that PF under control soon. It’s a nasty one.

    Hope the PF is improving! I am still going in to work. They are setting me up with a laptop though, and I’m hoping they will not ask me to work from home. That would take a lot of concentration and I don’t think it would be easy for me!
