My last parkrun was four weeks ago on 7th October. This was just before I contracted a nasty bout of plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the fibrous tissue at the bottom of the foot that connects the heel bone to the toes. The pain is under the heel and is not unusual for runners to develop this injury.
My particular case coincided with increasing my mileage and intensity in preparation for the Great South Run on 20th October. Running that race soon became out of the question. Despite having been for two treatments by my soft tissue specialist, it looks like I shall be out of action from running for some time. So stuck on 242 parkruns.
However, it does give me the opportunity to volunteer at parkrun. A beautiful day last Saturday in a perfect spot in Wendover Woods.
Completely different today in the pouring rain and strong winds at Aylesbury. The rough with the smooth.
