One small step for me, one large pain ing the foot

Ok, so I tried to re-work the famous quote - "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" or how ever it goes. I don't know if it works or not, but oh well. I reached a small milestone today, I crossed over the 200 miles ran mark for this year! I did 6 miles today in 50 minutes to break the mark, I was pretty happy with that since I didn't run last week so that I could rest my foot. So my foot with bad Plantar Fasciitis (PF) isn't getting any better. Of course I have not been doing much to help it, so I guess that was to be expected. Anyway, it felt pretty good while I was running today...a fraction of pain that I usually feel. So I decided to try icing my foot when I got home, I even elevated it during that process. It still feels OK, not 100% but not as bad as it has been so I guess I have a new routine. For some reason swimming made it feel better, so I may be spending more time in the pool. Anyway, I guess that is about it on that front.

I was looking at my exercise totals and I was thinking I might try to reach 500-600 miles ran in the year, 1000 miles biked, and maybe 75,000 yards swam. The elliptical minutes really don't mean much, and I really don't want to use the elliptical unless I am really burned out on the other stuff. I guess 10,000 minutes or even 11,000 minutes really isn't out of the question either! Those sound like good goals to me, what do you think?

Six miles in fifty minutes is awesome. Good Job!
