Eventful day, ran 4 miles this morning at the cross country meet in Provo, was fun to watch all the races, especially the college men's 4 mile, wish I could get back to those days when I was running like those guys. Bus ride home was ok, slept most of the way, then decided to go out and try to get a long run in. Sunny drove me up to Oak Grove Camp Ground and I ran back to La Verkin, through Leeds and Toquervile, she clocked the distance at 19.8 in the car and I started a little further up the road than she clocked and I so it was probably pretty close to 20 miles, it took me 2:24 and I felt pretty good especially the first 10 to 12 miles, however about 2 miles into the run I started feeling some burning on the bottom side of my right foot, I thought maybe it was just the fact I was running down a pretty good hill, and maybe the pain would go away once I got down to level ground, however the pain didn't go away. I decided to stop after about 6 miles and adjust my socks, but that did help feet continued to feel on fire the entire run, but besides that I was really feeling pretty good and enjoyed the evening, I just wish I would have started about an hour earlier it was hard running about an hour and a half in the dark. Once I got home and could finally take my shoes off I had a nice bloody sock and two big blisters on the bottoms of my feet, the right side was really bad and had quite a bit of fluid in it, the left side wasn't so bad, but still painful. I guess if anything I learned one combination of socks and shoes not to wear in the marathon. Good week of training and glad I got the long run in plus the mileage only running five days this week. |
