Workout: Speed on the treadmill

  • 1.5 mi warm-up - 10:30
  • 5 x 1k - 8:42
  • with 500m jog rest - 9:55
  • .5 cool-down - 10:00

Thoughts:

  • I was not into the workout this morning. It was a mental struggle to continue with each mile. I was supposed to run a 1.5 mile cool-down, but I just couldn't get that final mile done.
  • My foot really hurt for the first few miles.
  • I received a massage gift card at the end of the school year. I am redeeming it this afternoon. She is going to spend time on my foot. I can't wait!

Workout: Strength on the treadmill (HMP)

  • 1.5 mi warm-up / 10:50
  • 4 miles / 9:20
  • 1.5 mi cool-down / 10:00

Thoughts:

  • My paces on the treadmill were significantly slower than I had planned to run. My foot hurt the entire workout. I stopped periodically to stretch the area and to take additional Advil. Nothing relieved the pain today.
  • I'll wear my boot all day today.
  • I'll start again tomorrow with new hope!

Cross-Training:

  • 45 minutes spinning
  • 30 minutes weight training

Workout: Just run 5 mi (goal pace 10:00)

Overall Average Pace: 9:16

Conditions:

  • 73 °
  • 77% humidity

Splits:

  • 1 mi - 10:07 / 2 mi - 9:06 / 3 mi - 9:09 / 4 mi - 9:20 / 5 mi - 8:50 / 5.17 mi - 8:20

Thoughts:

  • I was not sure what to expect since my foot pain was unbearable yesterday during the run.
  • I kept my boot on all day and night. Perhaps this helped because I barely had any pain while running!
  • I was extremely satisfied with my overall workout. I have no stamina at these faster paces, but I am realistic with the gradual build-up.

Thoughts:

  • Overall, I am pleased with my performance. I am trying to build my stamina and push my easy run pace to under 10:00. Ipurposely slowed mile 7 & 8 to ensure that I could finish the full 10 miles.
