16.270.0016.27

Mid day: 16.27 in 10:36 avg pace. Avg heart rate:171; Max heart rate: 182. Min elevation: 8,431; Max elevation: 9,527; 1,117 gain; 739 loss. Husband and friends dropped me off in Rollinsville and I ran up Moffat Tunnel Rd and then up the old Rollinsville Pass rd until I met up with them (they were hiking up the old pass) and then I turned around and ran down until they caught up with me. Felt pretty good until the downhill started. Pretty bad knee/hip pain at the end- each step hurt. Bonked pretty bad afterwards. Not a great run.

AM: 5 on trails with pups + 5 more on the roads alone in 12:38 avg pace. Avg heart rate: 157; Max heart rate: 177. Avg elevation: 8,500'; 1,410' gain/loss. Pretty tired today. Quad sore from graston- apparently there were lots of adhesions created after the long run on Monday. Not very awesome.

AM: 10 mi along Boulder Creek trail in 10:36 avg pace. Min Elevation: 5,248; Max elevation: 5,773'; 530' gain/loss. Avg heart rate: 155; Max heart rate: 170. Goal was an easy run with a heart rate no higher than 145. Major fail on that front. I felt like I could not run any slower without walking and the heart rate still maintained at 150-155. It was a little warm by the time I got out the door.. maybe I should not have had the iced coffee beforehand either. 

Glued the inserts into my shoes today at my PT apt. Pretty big, painful blister has already formed. I hope the skin toughens up quickly. Undecided about July marathon at this point. Ugh.

Missed a few runs this week and today was no exception. After I slept in a bit this morning I realized that I needed to run B pup into the vet this morning to see about some sedatives for the car ride tomorrow. She is still not able to ride in the car without vomiting and drooling all over herself and L pup. I really hope she grows out of this. I may try to squeeze a short run in this afternoon if it isn't too hot (unlikely) and will probably try for a medium long run tomorrow morning early. Definitely a low mileage week for me, but I guess that is okay. I ramped up the miles somewhat quickly and maybe some of the recent knee/quad issues are the result of that. Need to focus on some strength in July. Jury still out on marathon in July.. really unsure about it. We're leaving tomorrow for Rapid City where the field course starts. Will likely be MIA on the blog until I return but will be keeping track of miles the old fashioned way in a running log. Nervous about leaving for 6 weeks but excited to get back into the field and teaching. 

 Happy July!
