Onward to 2015!

What a wonderful New Year's day.
Woke up to cold, but sunny, weather, perfect for this morning's Resolution Run, sponsored by the Atlanta Track Club.
In years past, this race was held up in Kennesaw, Ga., and offered a 5K or a double loop 10K.
But the staging area had changed ownership, so this year the race was changed to Brookhaven, Ga., which is closer to my house. The time was changed, and it was now a 4 miler.
All in all, a great race. Not my best time for a 4 miler: 51:39, but since I had taken 2 1/2 weeks off to give the body a break, I was pleased. I was hoping for around 50 minutes, but that's OK.
My right foot is still giving me some trouble, but now not thinking it's a stress fracture, but plantar fasciitis. I actually chatted with a runner at the starting line who was nursing a stress fracture. I asked her what it felt like and when I described my issue, she immediately said PF.
So, I got home and iced my arch down and it felt much better. That wouldn't have happened with a stress fracture. I need to keep icing it down and stretching my legs. I think I'll survive!
Didn't find any cash on this run, so the found money pig will be a little hungry into the new year.
I'm hungry!
So, onward to 2015! Here's to a great year of running ahead.
