OK, so I ran 7 miles with my team on Sunday. Lots of sweat (96% humidity) but minimal pain. The tape stayed put for most of the run, but started to come loose right at the ankle at about mile 6. I ran successfully yesterday without kinesio tape for the first time since early July - a little over 3 miles. I had a little pain in the tibealis posterior, but was able to stretch it and finish the run.
Needless to say, I am absolutely thrilled. My physical therapist rocks! Thank you, Sarah and NovaCare Rehabilitation .
One of the coaches is helping work up a revised schedule to get me back on track for mileage. Planning 8 for this Sunday, and will need to work in some extra long runs to ensure I make it to 20 miles by mid-October.
Race day is now less than 80 days!!!
Oh, and let me not forget WHY I am doing this besides the benefits for me...the most recent AIDS United newsletter is worth a read. AIDS United and Washington AIDS Fund are the beneficiaries of my training program, and every cent you donate to my run goes to them. Both have excellent records with regard to fiscal responsibility and both are impacting care in a positive way.
