Ok, this looks worse than it really is. I am practicing taping my legs with kinseology tape (I use Mummy Tape), plus I am covered in compression shin sleeves, a knee brace with ceramic particles (to bring heat and blood flow to my knee), and plantar fasciitis boots. This was last night as I lay in bed. Poor Izzy, he is a sport to put up with all of this.
This was preventative. I don't currently have a PF issue, just trying to keep my Achilles healthy and long. My knees were ok for a very conservative 5 mile run last night.
Today, I feel exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night, plus a loud noise woke me up at 2:30 am. If I can remember, I will take my resting heart rate in the morning. If it is elevated, this is an indication that I may be overtrained or about to get sick.
I said I was going to foam roll every morning and every night. But I didn't wake up early enough this morning, and I was too exhausted all day. The most important thing that I can do right now is rest and don't get sick.
I am supposed to run Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday is an optional flex or short running day. At this point, I am just going to do what feels good. Friday will be carbo-loading/pasta. Saturday is for resting and preparing. At some point I will visit the Marathon Expo to pick up my number.
OMG.
Still don't know what I will wear, but piecing it together in my head.
I downloaded the app today. Follow me, I'm bib #65690.
