The past few days I noticed that the back-bottom of my right foot hurts a little in the mornings. I felt it today when I ran a few miles. I'm pretty sure that I have plantar fasciitis. I have been following a running plan where my weekly miles are a percentage of what I expect my peak week will be. I'm working towards a peak of 60 but I'm changing it starting now to 48 miles. This week and next week I was planning to run 80% of peak. Instead of 48 miles, I'm dropping it down to 38 miles.
I'm revising the rest of the week to hit 38 miles. Instead of running 3 before weights, I'll walk. I'm cutting the number of cycles of Wednesday's workout from 6 to 5 and will walk to cool down. Friday I'll run less too. New remainder of week plan:
Everyday
Stretch calves/feet
Wednesday
6.6 miles
2 mile warmup +
5 x (4 min at 6:31 pace + 3 min at 9:41 pace)
6:31 = 9.2mph; 9:41 = 6.2mph
Thursday
strength training
Friday
6.4 miles
Saturday
12
Sunday
core or rest

never a bad idea to back off or have easy weeks once in a while.
