Marathon Dreamer

Average pace 9:06 min/mile.  Lots of hills here in Carlsbad.  I may not walk well tomorrow.  My foot with the plantar fasciitis is very unhappy.  I ran from Carlsbad North to Oceanside then back.  Continued along Carlsbad Blvd. south for a bit, turned around and headed back to the hotel.  I am amazed at how well I did today actually with all things considered, especially having all those darn hills... I was pleased with the pace.  I did take about 3-4 stops (mostly short ones).  I needed the rest room at mile 7.5 and bought fluids, then stopped again around mile 12 for more fluids, then again at the top of Carlsbad's version of heartbreak hill (at least that's what I'll call it) at mile 16.  The last 4 miles were all hills... up and down and up and down!! EEK!  I am afraid to stay off my right foot for any extended period of time because I know how it's gonna feel once I get back up and stand on it!!!

Resting today...not as sore as I thought I would be.

Sorry all... I put in my mileage yesterday but forgot to put in what I did for a run!!  LOL!!  Well.... it was a fartlek/interval run, but at one point I hit a 4:30 min/mile pace on my watch (very briefly)... I have never seen that speed on mile watch nor do I think that I have ever been able to hit that speed in my entire life!!  Very exciting for me.... that pace certainly isn't sustainable for me, but still... it was cool!!

My workout today went like this: 1.25 mile warm up at 10 min/mile pace, 1 mile at 8 min/mile pace, 2 miles at 10 min/mile pace, 1 mile at 8 min/mile pace, 1 mile at 10 min/mile pace, 1 mile at 8 min/mile pace, 3/4 mile cool down all on the treadmill.   I wish I could have mustered a bit more on speed for those repeats, but my legs said no!! 

workout #1: 6 sole searching miles...very heavy legs today.  Did this outdoors with lots of hills!

workout #2: 4 miles on the treadmill in attempts to be kind to my legs and knees. 

Not a great night sleeping.  My youngest son slept with me last night and was all over the bed!!  Living in a hotel is not easy... Sept 10th is moving day... and I cannot wait.  Cloudy and a bit chilly this morning.  I really just wanted to go back to bed after dropping the boys at school.  Decided to go run on the treadmill since my legs were still sore and my plantar fasciitis was bugging me.  Took it nice and easy.  Watched a few TV shows during my workout which at least made it tolerable.  It was a nice change from my typical routine.  Aiming for 60 miles this week... I am gonna hit it!!

Terrible night sleeping.  My legs were restless almost like they were ready to run in the middle of the night!  So weird!  Got up this morning and since my boys could not seem to get along this morning, I had no choice but to take Evan with me over to the gym so that I could run.  Treadmill run with varying incline... nice and easy pace, but felt hard as my legs are still spent from the mileage this week.
