Running 30:00 [2] 3.5 mi (8:34 / mi)
Easy paved loop around crown-prince palace grounds (Tokyo.) Nervous about foot, but it was only a little sore when running or after.
For the past week or so, my foot has been a little sore when walking around at night, and sometimes it feels like it needs a stretch or something in the evenings. Not too bad compared to when it was a big problem, but the rapid recovery rate seems to have flattened out. Hopefully it'll hold through the PNWOF/Colorady 5-day okay.
I'm not sure what to do to get out of the current state of training of orienteering-races-plus-slow-runs, with occasional light pain. There may be some strengthening I need to do, but I'm afraid to inflame it if I'm not careful in that strengthening. I guess I can take more risk and try different weights for my foot after the next 2 weeks of O races. At this point I'm happy taking it easy - in part because I think for the last 2-3 days, my foot has probably been a little better than last week, even with rain. So that's good. Not great, but good.
