Easy 14 km (8.7 mi) run on a warm, 30 C (86 F) afternoon around the corn fields down in La Gache. We seem to be having the summer weather that was missing earlier in August.
I forgot my orthotics at work, so I put the insoles back and ran on those. No arch support. A few hours running without my orthotics shouldn't hurt too much. Nevertheless I can feel tightness in my calves, especially my right calf. I also have a sort of tiredness in my left arch.
Each day I get too busy at work to remember to call the folks in Montbonnot who make orthotics for runners. They'd have me run on a treadmill and evaluate my gait before building a new pair. Need to put that on my Todo list, since I realize there's less and less of a difference between my existing orthotics and an off-the-rack insole. Plus I only have about two months to get used to the new ones, even if they build them this week.
