Little walk down memory lane. In a former life I was super involved in horse showing. Growing up we always had horses at our house. Usually had 2, but sometimes we had 4. I also spent my teen years into my mid 20’s working at larger stables.

This is why you practice doing a deadlift. So you can get out of a chair and your car easily. Use the gym to help you improve activities of daily living.

I went into Ghost Train Rail Trail Races wanting to push myself and go for 45 miles. Well it didn’t work out that way. I did the 30 miles which is still no joke.

During my 2 week taper was when I noticed the heel issue 🤦🏼‍♀️🏃‍♀️ stiff heel after sleeping not a good sign. Means the tendon attachment is damaged and inflamed. Can turn into full blown plantar fasciitis with heel spurs. I went into the race knowing I may not even get 30 miles.

I felt good the first 1.5 loops. Did intervals of 10 minute run 10 minute walk. When I went through the technical section again that’s when the heel tightness started and I knew pushing for the 45 miles wasn’t going to be a good idea.

Overall I’m pleased with how I trained which each of these types of races I learn more on what to work on. I still need to get better about the eating part in these types of distances. And I still have overall fitness that I can get better at.

Right now I don’t feel too bad. Just limping from my swollen right heel. I’ll give myself 2 weeks off from running.

You can track me live at Ghost 👻 Train Ultramarathon tomorrow 😬🏃‍♀️ I’m number 406.
