AM: Easy 5 on the Planet Walk. 4-striders. Same old stuff. Oh, my foot is hurting on the top. Seems like a bruise, but it has been there for 3 days now. Doesn't hurt when I walk in loose shoes. Only when I walk/run in running shoes. I am crossing my fingers it is only a bruise. Keeping an eye on it. PM: Workout day Met with Jon and we ran the Providence-Millville loop. 11 miles long with lots of hills. We did a warmup then did 2x3 mins hard up the hills. We took a ~2 min break between fartleks then did 3x3 mins on the flat/downhills. 1-.44mi in 3:01 (6:49) - Up a big hill 2-.47mi in 3:00 (6:24) - Not as steep 3-.54mi in 3:01 (5:36) - Down-Flat-Up 4-.58mi in 3:01 (5:11) - Big down (sections really steep)
5-.56mi in 3:01 (5:22) - Quality downhill here I was sure feeling the last few, but focused on good leg turnover and breathing. Once we were done, we had a nasty headwind back home that cooled us off pretty good. Windy, rainy, and cold. Whatever happened to spring? Finished off picking it up a bit to beat the 7:00 pace guy. Foot felt better, but IT band was sore by the end.
T-1:16:52 (6:59) 157 ave, 170's during the fartleks
