Well, I was meant to go biking but I was with Abi at this orienteering meet and they had entry on the day...it was a lovely run, warm, sunlit, fairly easy. No mistakes, ran slowly but steadily (winner on M21L, 9.5K in 49') - slow for foot, but also because fighting off a cold that Abi had got.

Very happy though, foot didn't seem to mind too much. Am signed up for team relay next weekend, hooray for some 'real' orienteering!

Easy run at Ermenonville. Nice sunset, felt ok. Foot hurt a little afterwards but not too bad

So I did some more research and found that running isn't necessarily bad, as long as the pain doesn't get worse. I also found out today that my physio is useless because she showed me a stretch to do today - "put your hands on the wall, stretch your calves out back, do that twice a day". I was going to tell her the stretches I'm doing need about a minute's explanation each not 10 secs but decided it wasn't worth it.

On the upside, I have decided to start running again. 20 mins today and then +5 mins per run until I get to an hour or so

I also learnt how to tape for O'ing with plantar fasciitis, so will have to try that out soon as well!

3 sets, felt good

Good session: 30min elliptical (617 kcal), 20min bike

I am in awe of William's 666 kcal for the same time, either he works a lot harder than me or he is a lot fatter...unfortunately that's unlikely given previous evidence
