oh oh the joys of week 4

This is the first week I've really ran every other day. Most of the weeks it was like 5 or 6 times a week. This morning I woke up and taped my arches before running. I always have arch and heel pain, no matter what I do. It's really one of the reasons I stopped being an aquaguide at the aquarium. I thought I'd give this a try. The tape is a little uncomfortable at first but over time it does it's job well. My feet are so pain free right now. It also helped with my shin splints.

The problem: athletic tape is really expensive unless I buy it in bulk so I'm not sure I'll tape the arches every day. For now I'm thinking I'll tape them when I run for longer periods of time or longer distances. I am very happy that I have two more days of week four before moving on to week five of the couch potato plan.
