This was actually a hike to the summit of Lone Peak

This was a weird run. I almost turned around as I went up the hill away from my house.  My chest was heaving and I felt pain everywhere.  I actually did turn around and pictured myself comfortable lying next to my wife.  Then I turned back up the hill and said to myself... just try.

By a half mile in I was feeling a little better and by 2 miles in I thought I might make it.

So 21 miles later I was saying wow and you almost didn't even start. Amazing.

My foot hurt.  My right calf, inside ankle, and shin had some sharp pain.  I had pain in my left hip, glut and then at the end of the run felt it sort of numb.  Toes were scrunched into the front of these Brooks.  Maybe I won't race in them.

I was really hot at the end but not dehydrated and didn't feel an energy drain.

Today's run was good.  I gave myself an extra day to recover from Monday's long run.

I felt good overall.  My legs felt strong and cardio felt good.  

 My foot continues to be sore and I started to compensate by running on the outside of my foot.  My second set of easy miles was hard and I did some walking and stretching.

I was surprised that I was able to hold my pace for the last interval set.

This was supposed to be 15 miles at Marathon pace but I bonked on the last 4 miles.  My legs were done and by the end I felt like I couldn't give anymore so I just slowed down.

 I'm sure it was the accumulation of miles especially during the last week but certainly with 2 big hikes in the past couple of weeks and some compressed training it was bound to happen.  

I felt like I needed to finish the run even though the last 4 weren't at pace.

 My foot hurt and the outside of my foot was hurting from compensating.  I didn't feel anything else getting sore until I bonked.  Then everything hurt.

Went out for 2 miles.  Didn't feel like I was going to warm up so I just went back home instead of doing threshold run.  I might've been able to do it but my heart wasn't in it.

Crappy sleep last night.

Foot was hurting alot.

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/13457082 Much better today.  No problems warming up.  Stiff in the foot but that's how it is everyday.  Held back a little on the first two sets to make sure I could finish without loosing pace. The last set was hard, some lactic acid but heart rate stayed steady.  Tired at the end and stiff to finish cool down but a good workout.

legs felt fine, heart rate under control, foot is feeling better. I had some hamstring pain on the left, patellar pain on the left, and my right ankle has some tendinitis. I'm icing it now. It was hard to breathe today but I feel a little congestion. No equipment issues. Need to get MP3 player ready with marathon mix

Good today.  Started out a little sore in my foot but it loosened up.  I need to remember to start out a little slower.  It seems like I take longer to get into a rhythm when I bring my heart rate up too fast.

Finally feel like I'm getting my legs back.  Recovery is in sight. 

Some foot pain.  No hip or knee pain.  Stomach a little queasy and a little congested.
