am--7 We had sick kids all weekend and, consequently, disturbances in the middle of the night. That really diminishes the restfulness of my sleep. So I ended up missing practice but still got in some good miles later.
pm--3 A nice little jaunt w/ a buddy, catching up on the past.
am--5.5 We've been sans internet for a few days, so I'm just catching up. We did some hill work today--3 x 1 min. and 4 x 30 sec.--then added to the gas station. The kids we're strong, and the girls made the most of their first "workout" of the season.
am--5.5 We had practice at the Bloomington North Park and hit some hill work on Webb Hill--2 x 30 sec. and 4 x 1 min. The hard part was that we recovered continuing up the hill. After the hill work, we dropped off the other side and finished w/ some grass loops at the park. It seems like running in deep grass works some of the same muscles that hills do.
pm--8 Got in a nice run w/ 3 miles @ tinman pace, which for me is 7:30ish. For the first 3 miles or so, I had a little pf irritation. The pain hits in the back of the heel, and the Asics seem to exacerbate the problem. It has bugged me on-and-off for a while. Things worked back to normal. I've been thinking about my running a lot this week and have come to a decision or 2. Stay tuned.
