Weather - 24 degrees, sunny, kind of windy. Fell asleep when I got home yesterday evening, so I did not go to Brookens Gym. Woke up at 7:00am and walked there this morning, did 8 sets of strength exercises and stretches. Walked home and changed into running clothes and ran 1.5 miles to the Urbana HS track. Didn't bother to stretch since I already was loose from the gym workout. Did 10 x 200m repeats, with a 200m walking recovery after each. I felt stronger than last weeks repeats, my legs did not get wobbly and my breathing remained controlled and relaxed. Ran 3 easy miles to the arboretum for a cool down. Towards the end of the run I felt the top of my right foot begin to tighten. That is the same injury which required me to take 6 weeks off after the marathon in July. After the 6 weeks of no running the foot felt better, about 90%, so I started running slow and short, and it seems to have gotten stronger with each passing week. Today it felt like I pushed it too hard. I don't want to have to take another extended amount of time off from running, so I better slow things down for now and see if it starts to loosen up a bit. I was hoping to do 9 miles on Sunday, but if my foot is tight I better just do 5. |
