124 Days to go - Testing the orthotics

Route #7 Duration : 27 min 3 sec Energy : 423 KCal Distance : 3.5 miles Max HR : 172 Bpm Av HR : 154 Bpm Mile pace : 7:43 min/mile I could feel yesterday's exertions in my legs today, in fact I felt generally tired and slow all day. Lots of people around me seem to have colds, I hope I am not going down with one. The run today was short and fast, I stayed in the tough zone the whole way. I managed the first couple of miles in good time (15 min by my estimate) but my pace tailed off towards the end. I wore my orthotic insoles during the run for the first time and I am quite sceptical as to the accuracy of the fit. There is a definite pain under the ball of my left foot and in the arch of my right. Suvanne warned me that it would take some time to get used to the insoles but they seem very gnarly at the moment.
