Training Injuries and Travel Details

The last two week have been a little rough.  Right calf strain and a little bit of plantar fasciitis in my right foot.  I have been resting up for the last week and due to some odd work travel I will not be running for a week more.  The calf is almost good to go but the foot I am going to have to watch.  This will put me behind the curve for the Rockledge Rumble in Texas the first part of November.  Oh well, better to heal now.

Most of my reservations for travel are set.  Lisa and I are working through Complete Morocco to get a package deal for her to be at the finish line.  The plan is to arrive in Paris on March 30th and then I will be heading to Ouarzazate on the 2nd of April.  This will give me plenty of jet lag days and some fun time before the race.  Lisa will be spending time with our previos exchange student Maureen in Belgium than departing to Morocco around the 9th.  We are planning to return to Paris on the 15th.  I will continue on home the next day and Lisa will spend a week in England with her mother doing geneology research.  The pieces are coming together!

  1. I hope the PF clears up soon. I had a small case of it a few years ago and did not run for several weeks before the JMTR. Then I got tired of not running and ran the JMTR 50 mile. I could feel it during the race and figure I would pay dearly. The next morning when I got up it did not hurt at all and has not come back since.

    I think that I had some scar tissue in there that just needed to get broken down and the 50 miles of running took care of that.

    I remember reading on the web that there are many cures which people swore by but only worked for some people but not others. Anyhow, I wish you a quick recovery.
