Sunday long run! We woke up around 6 and headed to Greenville to Swamp Rabbit trail. About an 8:10 paced out and back with Anya, and Coach Gracey joined on the way back. The run took forever I felt like, but it felt alright. Except 1 thing - my plantar tendon thing is killing me in the mornings. I really, really hope that isn't a developing injury. It started feeling mostly better after like 3 miles. Anya says to roll it out every day with a tennis ball. I did that when we got back and I thought I was going to cry it hurt so badly (in a good way, I guess). 

You know it's bad when you nap as long as you sleep. Coach Gracey can see how little sleep we are getting. I gotta work on that this week. College, man.

I had plantar fasciitis last year. I used a golf ball, it's harder than a tennis ball and hurts more but really helps. Ice it for 15 minutes. Do it every day. It's gonna hurt like heck but it really does help.

Makes sense!! I'll definitely see if I can steal one from someone on the golf team haha. Thanks!
