Ran with a bigger group today...but not as far.  I ran with Troy, Justin, Amanda, and Lowell (who was actually back in town for a visit!).  We ran the Marathon route to the store in Inkom.  Total 15.07 miles

I picked up Troy at 5:45am, and it was still warm outside.  It was also very humid.  The cloud cover held the entire run but the humidity kept us pretty wet the entire way.  We ran the marathon route all the way to Century.  20.70 miles.

I took most of this week off from running because I woke up last Sunday with what feels like the beginnings of Plantar Faciitis.  I have had it twice before, so I know the warning signs.  That being said, we did an easier run today....and no big downhills.

I met Troy at his house at 6:00am and we just ran a big loop from there.  11.08 easy miles and so far, the foot feels OK.  Tomorrow morning will be the moment of truth.
