Ran the Big Creek Greenway. Started at McFarland ran out and back on Ronald Regan and then hit the greenwat (flat) for 5 miles at LT. Tough run.  Ran with Laura.  Her hip started to bother her at mile 8. We walked the last half mile.

Laura bagged the run (smart move) due to her hip pain.  Ran the 12 mile loop with Amy B.  Strong runner.  I peeled off her at mile 8 to hit the 4 miles at MTP.

Planned on swimming & then run 5 miles, but the lightning cancelled the swim.  Ran 5 on the treadmill and lifted.  Wore the new NB 890's which are part of the sponsorship.  Not too impressed. The shoe runs a little flat with little response. Need to pump it up though.

18 mile run turned into a 20 mile run.  Ran with Todd this morning.  Great run.  Todd was running 17 miles.  I forgot to calculate in the distance to meet him.  A little sore but it was a good run.

Tough run this morning.  Got home at 11PM, up at 5AM to run 12.  Was just thankful I could keep the legs moving.

5 mile recovery run on the treadmill at lunch.  The temp was 95 degrees at 11:30AM.  Stretched for 30 minutes and headed back to work.

10 mile run this morning.  Starting to feel fatigued due to the heat.  I have lost my appetite but continue to eat what I need.  I am going to take a few days off to recoup.

Took a few days off, slept in.  Focused on eating and drinking.  Felt good this morning, but it seems you trade one thing for another.  Left heel is in pain.  Must had pulled the tendions in my foot.  Ran 10 this morning.  5 EZ, 5 at Lactact Threshold.  Decided this week to run purely on heart rate to see if I can control the bout of overtraining (though I have stuck to the plan every mile).  Ran with Amy B this morning.  We started out on the 5 together but I told her once mile 5 came I was increasing the effort to 91% of my Max HR for the remaining 5 miles.  She was fine with it.  Run was good and foot did not hurt this time.

Spoke too soon on the foot.  I have been icing and heating.  Wore "the boot" last night.  I woke up in tremendous pain in the left heel.  Walked around the house to warm it up and it felt better.  On the run it was a different story.  Felt a jabbing pain every step.  Re-adjusted my stride which helped, but every once in a while, the pain would coming back like someone hit my heel with a hammer!  Heart rate never topped over 146 with a pace of 7:45's.

Logging a lot of miles this week.  I had a 5 mile recovery run built in for this morning.  As I woke at 4:50AM, I thought about swimming.  I had not been in the pool for over a month since I started logging miles on the road.  I am paying for a Master's Swim program and besides, it is only 5 miles in the grand scheme of the total training.  Sorry, NB 890's.  Left the shoes at home for goggles and a swim suit.  Master's starts at 5:30AM.  The crowd had been light this week since everyone is tapering for a few big triathlons coming up over the weekend.  The workout was a endurance workout:

 800M at Half Ironman Pace

  • 3 X 350M on the 6:30's
  • 50M on 1:00
  • 3 X 250M on the 4:30's
  • 50M on 1:00
  • 3 X 175M on the 2:50's
  • 25M
  • 12 X 25M FAST on the 45's. 
  • 100M cool down

 

It was nice to mix it up once in awhile.
