AM: 46:58 (5.5 miles). 8 x 400 100 on 100 off (:21-:22 secs on :32-:33 off). Was supposed to run for 40` but it took me a little longer to warm up and then I cooled down a couple laps with an older man who was on the track getting ready for the Senior Games. I saw him do a jump and shouted some encouragement to him, and he was doing the same for me while I was doing my workout, so after I was finished and he was warming up to do some sprints, I decided to cool down a bit with him. He is doing the long jump and a bunch of sprint events -- he doesn't do distance ;-). He was so nice I figured it was worth a few a minutes of extra running to hear his stories. Only 30 more minutes tonight and this week will be done -- if all goes well I will have close to 60 miles this week. I did have to go to see my ART therapist last night, my left leg is sore today from it, but the muscle does not hurt as much. I am going to have to get some consistent work done on my right foot, my PF is getting really bad, it is taking longer and longer for the pain to go away when I start my runs. PM: 32:51 (3.5 miles). Very hot, I tried to wait until it cooled off some, but at 6:30 it was still in the 90's so as I was whining Dean told me to "get to it" and "you aren't going to expire in 30 mins" - so I just got out and did it! Ran to Liberty Park and a little on the grass and back. I wish I had driven to the park and done the whole run there, it was shady there ... not one bit of shade on the rest of the run. Now I need to recover in time for a longer run tomorrow! Congratulations on the great races today bloggers!
