Decided to brave the "gunk" this morning. Ran by myself on the JRP, started at the iron bridge and ran south. I have been resting my foot this week and fighting off a cold, so I wasn't so sure how it would go. Plus we had a church chile party last night. I could feel some pain in my foot for the first little bit, but it didn't keep getting worse like last Sat. I tried to adjust my form and that seemed to help. I comtemplated going further today, but did not want to push it. Average pace for the first 4 miles: 7:36 negative split on the second half, last 4 miles AP 7:18. Average for the whole run was 7:27. I was definetly pushing it harder today, and it felt good.
Hopefully I can continue easing back into it this next week. My lungs are clearing up from my cold.
I was glad to put at least some miles in this week. Besides some stength training this week, I haven't done much, and with multiple christmas parties going on it would be easy to slack off, and fall way behind. |
