My legs this week have felt like two coils of spring steel. It was the end of January, first of February that my legs felt this good. Only things hurting are a very slight case of plantar fasciitis on my right foot. Advil has been controlling that pain. I also have my two normal pinches between the big toe and second toe also between the third and fourth toes on my right foot. Ninety percent of all the foot problems I have are on my right foot. I wear out my right shoe sole twice as fast as my left shoe. I guess I am right foot dominate. I sand off my pinches just like I sand off all my foot calluses. Take care of those feet. I have watched some great long distance walkers at high profile international Centurion walks stopped short because of foot problems. Learn to read your feet. Learn how to fix your foot problems. You are not walking anywhere without your feet. Get use to the fact that during training there is going to be some pain. I promise during a Centurion race there will be pain. Adapt your mind to accept pain.

NOTE: By pain I mean the normal aches and soreness from pushing your body to the max. If you have torn or broken something you will need to stop and seek medical help,

Add another hour to my walking next week. At this point in my Centurion training I feel like superman. Very confident, excited.
