Morning run, temp 25'
My legs were feeling ok but not great but today seemed like a good day for a 3 mile tempo run. I decided I wanted to give myself a goal of 6:15 mile avg. that I new I could achieve. I also wanted to finish the last mile strong even if it hurt because I wimped out the last mile of the 10K a couple of Saturdays ago. I ran a 6:14, 6:06, 6:11. The 2nd mile is slightly down and the last mile is slightly uphill. I was happy with the times.
The base of my third toe still aches. I'm guessing it is either a stress fracture, nerve problem, or tendon problem. Anyway, I can stand the pain but it takes away a little from the runners high. For now I'm going to keep running on it unless it gets worse.
Miles 7.0, Time 47:20, Mile avg. - 6:46
Noon run, Temp 38'
Today is the only day this week that a 2 a day will work so I ran at lunch.
