25 days to go - Back to the podiatrist

Route#9 Distance : 7 miles Duration : 1 hr 2 min 45 sec Energy : 639 KCal Max HR : 139 Bpm Av HR : 129 Bpm Mile pace : 08:57 min/mile Mission statement : 7 miles in approx 65 mins slow (09:15 125 - 130 - 135) My left hip and knee felt like a bag of spanners for the first mile of today's run but, like yesterday, things improved as I got fully warmed up. The weather was great, warm, sunny and still, and I had a pleasant time cruising with phi-life cypher (pictured). I decided that enough was enough with the right orthotic. It is really sticking into my arch and I have developed a nice bruise to go with my blister on that foot. In an effort to improve things I revisited Suvanne this afternoon and she is going to reduce the height of the right arch support. This means I will be without the orthotics for a few days, I hope I do not do myself any damage - at least it will give my blisters a chance to heal.
