Woke up feeling much better this morning. I am so glad I waited an extra day to get over the cold plus I had awesome company in JulieC!! Running with someone else is so much fun when you get really used to running alone.
We started out slow running up Provo Canyon, first mile was like 8:45? I felt good the first 9 miles and even the steep uphill mile up south fork and then all of a sudden I started having shooting pain on the inside of my left foot. It just felt like my shoes were laced WAY tight and cutting off my circulation or something. Very weird and it continued for the remainder of the run. We had planned to tempo the last 4 miles but both of our left foots were hurting so we decided to just run and not worry about pace. Which is totally the way to go because we were running tempo pace (for me Julie is much faster) and I did not even realize it. Aerobically it felt easy but I just wanted to get the run over with because my stupid foot was killing me. Anyway pace up the canyon was 8:11 and pace down was 7:21 for an overall of 7:46-7:47 depending on whos garmin you look at. :)
Now back to the dumb foot. Julie is thinking it is PF and that does seem right. This was my 3rd time wearing the Kinvaras, 1st time on a LR. I did wear them for speedwork on wednesday and had no problems. Do you think it is the shoes? Just asking anyone and looking for opinions. I am not freaking out too bad because I had similar problems before Boston and it ended up just being nerve related.
Okay enough about me! After the run we rushed up to Orem park and barely missed Melody's finish. She won by a long shot running in 36 minutes. wow, wow, wow! So fun to meet her. Did not get to see Jake becauce he was out running but congrats to him as well.
Longest non race report ever. sorry!!! |
