Weather - 77 degrees, sunny, slight humidity. Got up early this morning, and being in the Quad Cities I decided to do a long run along the Mississippi River bike/run trail. I found that the 7 mile race did not take much out of me - no soreness or stiffness, and energy level was good. I usually won't run hard 2 consecutive days, but it is not everyday I get a chance to run in a new and beautiful place. The trail was flat throughout, and I ran 1:30 out, and 1:30 back, with an average pace of about 8:40-45. That would be approximately 20 miles for the run. I am back home now, and feeling a little stiff, but I can walk down stairs without a problem, so it should only take a couple of days to recover. #254 | | Comments(2) |

Weather - 81 degrees, sunny. Ran 1.5 miles to the arboretum, then 3.75 miles barefoot around the grass loop. That is the longest I have run without shoes. My breathing was excellent today. I ran most of the barefoot miles at 7:15 pace, and it felt effortless. Quads were somewhat sore from the 2 consecutive hard days, so I will run short and easy days until my legs feel better. One bad thing about todays run, when I was running quickly through the grass the top of my left foot felt weak, and I had to slow down. It could be a sore tendon. I will have to keep a close watch, if it continues to feel weak I will cut out hard workouts until it is healed. #255

| Weather - 88 degrees, sunny, humid. I iced my left foot 4 or 5 times yesterday, along with soaking it in a hot bath, and massaged it 2 or 3 times. This morning it felt pretty good biking to work and walking around. When I went on my run in the late morning I took it easy, making sure not to go faster than 8:00/mile pace. I ran barefoot .75 miles around the arboretum grass loop. Entire 5 miles the foot felt better than yesterday, so it appears to be nothing too serious. Afterward 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 15 minute walk home. #256

| Weather - 84 degrees, sunny, humid. Ran a couple of hard loops at Busey Woods at 7:00 pace, the rest of the run was at 8:00-8:45. Legs were about 80% recovered, and foot felt 90-95%. Considered doing a track workout tonight with 2nd Wind, but the only reason to do so was to burn some energy and have some fun. Not being fully recovered, though, made these reasons not good enough, so I skipped the track tonight. Afterward 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #257 | | Add Comment |

| Weather - 86 degrees, sunny, humid. High humidity today, it felt amazing on the Busey Woods loop - I could feel the heat emanate from the tall grass which borders the pathway - it felt really good. Legs are now 85% recovered, and my foot seemed 99%, just a slight twinge now and again. I ran 2.5 miles at 6:45-7:00 pace, it felt great to have some strength back in the legs. Afterward 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #258

Weather - 87 degrees, sunny, humid. Another hot/humid day. Went out at noon and felt great. Legs 90%, and I forgot about my left foot, which means it is doing well. Did some more loops at Busey Woods, this time extending it to 3 hard miles - hitting the soft dirt trails at 6:30 pace, and then slowing to 8:30 pace on the boardwalk. Ran the final mile hard around the park, kicking the final 800m. I am going to miss a circuit race in August (Mahomet half marathon) because I will be going to Door County, Wisconsin for 1 week with my wife. I am looking forward to getting out of town and running some new trails. I plan to do 2-a-day runs while there, and to also follow the Percy Cerutty school of training - running up and down sand dunes in my bare feet. My favorite part of each run will be the end - jumping into Green Bay! It will be like my old Chicago days when I jumped into Lake Michigan after each workout. I don't have any races scheduled for a while, yet I feel very fit. It seems a shame to not use the positive energy I have accumulated for racing. Maybe I should find an out of town trail race in August. If not, September will offer some racing opportunities. #259

Weather - 76 degrees, sunny, humid. Went out early this morning for an easy 5 miles. Felt a little lethargic, but legs were 95%, and no problem with my left foot. Afterward 3 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 15 minute walk home. #260
