My half-marathon training is going fairly well this fall. I don’t have the plantar fasciitis pain that I had in the spring when I was preparing for Pittsburgh and my legs actually feel stronger now that I’ve added some hill training to my routine.
Thank goodness–I’ve been too busy this fall to be saddled down with injuries and running has been more enjoyable now than it was in the spring.
