Had to work late. No
time to run tonight.
Tuesday: Off
Once again, had to work late, no time to run. Bummer.
Wednesday: 5 Miles – 54:46 – Average Pace 10:55/mile
Hit the treadmill after work. Still didn’t have enough time to get a full
run in, but I gave it a whirl. 1 mile
warm up, 2 miles at 5% incline, 2 miles at 15% incline. Sweat my ass off, but felt pretty strong
otherwise.
Thursday: Off
Travel back to Fort Worth.
Friday: 4.17 Miles – 33:42 – Average Pace 8:05/mile
Set out with the plan to run 8 miles tonight and was feeling
really good until 2 miles in. I went to
make the turn onto Grandbury road and tripped.
As I stumbled to catch myself and stay up, I felt a very sharp pain in
my left foot right below my pinky toe. I
hobbled across the road and sat down to get my wits about me. I took my shoe off to assess the damage and
didn’t really find anything too alarming.
I decided to play it safe and headed back to the house early. Almost to the house, I felt like my foot was
fine, but I still played it safe.
Saturday: 7.29 Miles
– 1:15:12 - Average Pace 10:19/mile
Spent some time out at Big Cedar to catch up on some trail
time. I was pretty concerned about my
foot from the previous night, so I chose to wear the NB 1210’s to protect my
foot. I actually felt really good for
the whole run. I deliberately took it at
a slow pace. I tried to run each of the
climbs, but still maintain my run/walk ratio.
Ended up being just over a thousand feet of gain through the run. I had to cut short once again in order to
help with some work stuff, but I really felt good about this run. I got to run Texas
Sunset/Ranger/SxSW/Ranger/S.O.S. which I think is a pretty good trail
linkup.
Sunday: 11 Miles –1:26:14– Average Pace 7:50/Mile
Aside from a little stiffness and burning in my Achilles/calves
for the first two miles. I stopped to
stretch for a few minutes, and afterwards really felt solid for the rest of the
run, running every step. I don’t feel
like I pushed the effort too hard at all and I think it was a nice end to an
otherwise shitty week of training.
Total Miles: 27.46
Total Time: 4:09:54
Work really interfered with training this week, but I
suppose it doesn’t necessarily hurt to have a light week right now. I am a little disappointed that I will not
meet my initial mileage goal for the month.
Hopefully I can still close out the month with some solid training.
