AM - Abridged version - couldn't sleep at all, so at 4 I set out for my run. Got the Strava course record for University Blvd by about 30 seconds with a 10:26. The course is a tad short of 3000m, with 75 ft elevation gain. I ate something bad yesterday and I felt really bad on the run today. I should have broke 10 at least. Was sure I'd throw up the last couple minutes. Finished with a couple strides. My shoes were literally soaked with blood in the toebox area once I was done, not sure what from.
PM - trail run with UA run. The first mile I got pushed behind a couple guys started off ham and died off. One of them basically tripped me, and I hurt myself pretty bad. AT 2 everyone turned around but me, I went about a mile farther. I got hit by a thorny branch that made me bleed a bit. I did 3x30 second strides until I had to stop, my right foot was wet(from blood, AGAIN). Finished up the hill hard. Once I got back to the dorm I could see my right big toe got messed up pretty badly.
Not a good day for me.
With 12 days until the CC, here's the plan. Medium workout tomorrow. Some 200's on Tuesday. Not sure on the workout on Wednesday. For now, let's call it 3x mile repeats on the grass. 3x2400m on Friday. Longer run with a couple hill strides on Saturday. a few tempo 800's on Sunday. 1200, 800, 400 on Tuesday. Besides that the mileage is going down, the taper is going up, and sub 26:20 is in the books. I've done the 100-mile weeks. I've done two a day workouts. I've worked for this, now let's get it done!
