After two days off taking care of my infected foot with antibiotics and rest I ran this morning. I do have a doctor's appointment at 4pm today to do a re-check on my toe. There's still a little infection left, but I had no pain running this morning.
I ran 10.22 miles today at a overall pace of 6:48 in 1:09. After the two days off my legs felt fresh, but I didn't want to push the pace in the beginning so I did some faster miles at the end of the run (6:41, 6:28, 6:10, 5:57). I really need to get back on the track for speed work . I haven't done any speed work for three weeks, but I've done a lot of tempo runs in my runs to keep my speed up. I really need to start pressing harder in my tempo runs to drop the mile average down to at least a 5:40 I think that really needs to be my main focus to get faster, and accompany this with long endurance runs with tempo miles in them too. PM. two miles tonight downhill. My wife let me out of the car about to 2 miles from our Dog's obedience class and I ran the rest home. I wanted to get a taste of running in the 90 degree heat which I really did feel. Probably because I only ran two miles.
