A Painful LSD

I did my first LSD today, but had to give up after 21km after my foot (actually both feet) are feeling the pain. Had plantar fasciitis last year which was not fully healed but bearable. It actually got better but I guess the inconsistency on training and with my shoe sole running thin, I guess that might be the cause of it. Walked the last few kms (maybe 3-4km) back home. Lucky, my neighbour, Zul, was driving back and offered me a ride.

I wanted to buy the Mizuno Idaten shoe which was on sale for RM189 after 50% discount. Didn't buy it in the end as I thought I've already got a racing shoe which is still new. I think it's better for me to go shop around for training shoe this week rather than getting another race shoe.

Kind of tough to walk after the run and I think when I wake up tomorrow, it's going to hurt. I better remember to stretch it when I wake up tomorrow to minimise the pain.

Had to stop at the Pacesetters water station in front of Duta Tennis Centre. Grabbed couple of drinks and tried to run back but had to stop just after Matrade Centre. Going to rest tomorrow and see how it feels. Not much time left to train for Bareno 21km though. Will go do some surveys on training shoes....

Thanks Peter. I think I didn't recover fully. You remembered I told you about it before I went to Berlin. It came back again. This time I can feel it at both feet.
