The month of October featured me running on a cushioned surface to protect my feet as I recovered from plantar fasciitis in my right foot. I have also been doing foot stretching exercises to alleviate the problem. Today I ran a short distance on asphalt, on the road around my block, about .7 mile...and feel no foot pain. I ran on every day of the month, and amassed 260 miles...
Next month I will step up my outdoor running, which should be more pleasant with the expected cooler fall season temperatures and dryer weather. There is a half-marathon in Gainesville in the middle of the month, and the Turkey Trot, a 10K race, will be held around Thanksgiving. Whether or not I run in either of these depends on how well my transition to road running goes in the next couple of weeks...
