10 mile run this morning. Part of the overpass loop only cut out Dogtown. I had a juicy stomach this morning from a long weekend of uncontrolled food consumption. This seems to be a trend for me on Mondays. My sore shoulder (from the bike crash on Friday) hurts pretty bad as well. There is a slight chance it could be broken or dislocated or something. The good news is I can run all the miles I want, the bad news is it really hurts to try and push any kind of pace. So that could end up being a real issue. Hopefully it will feel better every day. I'll keep the miles at 100 or just under for the week. I'll most likely race a 5k on Saturday (Torrey Apple Days 5K) and would like to gauge my fitness from last years race- baring it's the same course. (Blue Cumulus 405.25) 10 mile run this evening with the club. We'll call it Meat Grinder Monday's in the STG. We met up at the DC and ran over to the base of Webb Hill and ran it 3x with the downhill as a recovery. It is .92 up and the same down. In that distance you go from 2,610 to 3,150 in elevation- plus it's not even a real dirt road- very rocky and slick. One more thing it was at least 100 degrees. 1. 7:35- Did good on this one. Mouth got very dry. 2. 7:50- Very thirsty again. I'll take way more water next week. 3. 8:15- Just totally lost it on this one. My quads wouldn't even go. Not bad for a first timer this year on this workout. The goal is to do it once a week the rest of the summer and maybe add one more repeat but work on bringing the times down. If we can keep it up we'll all be running like champs at the end of the summer. FEAR THIS! (Red Stratus)
