Three in a row

I have an appointment with a foot specialist in a couple of weeks. I feel like every post about my running should include that for a while.

But I'm back running I suppose. Three days in a row since the marathon. Which proves that the foot isn't all bad.

I sometimes get pain in my foot when going downstairs, but never when going upstairs. Combine this with a fascination with an old Runner's World article I recently read on Irish Hill Running and I've been slowing down the treadmill and amping up the incline. Yesterday I did a mile at a 10 percent incline. Today I ramped it up to a 15 percent incline but I didn't slow down enough to maintain that very long.

Still it was a great workout and I had fun. And fun is always at the top of the agenda.
