Recovery Week. I really pushed myself during the NYC Half Marathon. My calves were sore for a few days, but even worse, my lateral plantar fascia of my left foot was very sore. I was a little painful to walk on so I decided to take four days off from running. I applied a Salonpas patch each night on it to relieve the pain. I ran for the first time on March 25th.
March 25th - John A. Phillips Park. Ran an easy 10k. I hurt all over and felt like crap! My calves and hips were sore and I was beginning to think that maybe the NYC Half was too close a tune-up race to Boston. My lateral plantar fascia hurt during the first couple of miles, but decided to push through. The pain eventually subsided. I just kept telling myself that I'll get through this, but negative thoughts still crept in my head!

March 27th - John A. Phillips Park: Felt much, much better! Ran 1st 5 miles at about a 7:09 pace, then ran a 5-mile progression run with the last mile of 6:05. General soreness is virtually gone and my lateral plantar fascia pain is gone! My confidence is up and feel I'm back to do some great training before Boston!
