Met BBK's and boy were they fast this morning. I wasn't trying to push it all out, my quad was a little sensitive this morning, but I thought I was going pretty slow because I was so far behind then noticed I was at a 7:20 pace - YIKES, the speed of the group has increased exponentially these past couple weeks! Did some speed intervals then I had to head back to the car for my PT appointment. Mix up on the appt (what my card said vs. what it really was) so I just went to meet my husband at his work and switch cars. I now had 45 minutes to burn, so I ran another 4 around his business park/work. I got some pretty strange looks from commuters, confusion about where I'd come from...no houses nearby :) Descent, but not great pace - didn't lap the intervals so I have no idea how fast they were. Good news/bad news with the shoes, I love the stability and cushioning, but there is something that pinches the outside ball of my foot (right at the base of the pinky toe) don't feel it too much when running, but when I stop and walk in them it gets uncomfortable. Maybe I just need a wider version of the shoe. AP 8:39 splits: 9:47, 8:55, 8:51, 8:19, 8:02, 8:10, 8:27, 8:53, 8:40, 9:00, 8:35 PT went well, but I could tell I was compensating for the pain as I start and my shin/hip on the R is starting to bug, so he checked it out and could see what was wrong. He cautioned me that I shouldn't be changing my form to compensate and that if I can't run with good form I shouldn't be running - STINK! So, I'm going to try and see what I can do Thursday at group with my form.
