Decent sleep. That's because I cheated and slept in and didn't run until noon. That ended up being a big mistake. I thought it would be about 75F and be some good heat training. Well it started at 82F and was 86F by the time I was done. I kept the pace at 7:30 for the first 6 miles, drank a ton at the ball park. It was hot and I decided to cut back as quickly as possible by going down the highway back to Salem. It was so windy, wind was kicking up dead dry grass, which gave me a cut on my knee. Then dirt was being blown on me from some big construction sites. It was pure misery coming back. Couldn't even hear my ipod during the toughest miles because of the wind. Yesterday went to Dr. Brady's. I had a hard time writing down my three things because I really wanted him to work on all three and he normally only gets to two. He worked on all three this time though. Sweet! Except it hurt sooooo bad when he worked on my calf I was crying. It made his time on my ham feel like a day spa though. So much more relaxing. I now have a bruise on my foot where he worked. He worked on my rt foot (ultrasound, scraping and massaging), rt calf (scraping, "massaging," pushing, pulling, almost ripping the muscle off :) nice), and rt ham (massage, art, scraping, electro-acupuncture). I got my money's worth. I plan on going in one last time on Tuesday.
For todays run: Rt calf tighter at the beginning, only marginally tight by the end. Rt foot had no pain during the run, minor achiness after. Rt ham just a little tight. Lt ham also a little sore (what's up with that? Not the left ham too now).
ave pace 7:48
