So lets see- Monday did 5.5 with Merritt and Darin felt ok. They did 3(although Mer did 3 in the am as well)
Tuesday did an ok 7 in the am at mcd with M and D. It was a little farther then we wanted but Mer wanted to do something different and everone was on board. So we tried green loop- too overgrown. Then went back to course and tried the bear egg cut through- too confusing(we could have made it obv but the days of tramping through the woods for 15-20 min are kind of passe now) Then went back up to road and went on train tracks toward good old Mt Wilson. While I was regaling them with tales of my first HS run(oiy) we then decided to go the other way toward Rtown rd. I think the old cut through the neighborhood might be gone? or we didnt find it but found a perfectly acceptable alternate route and then finished up as usual.
My feet(plantar in back) have been getting a little sore from the run sunday and then today- have to be careful about running too much on pavement as i slowly adjust to running more. Also i got some type of cramp/light pain in my left forefoot underneath but I think that was from sunday and doesnt seem to be a big deal hopefully.
Then yesterday did the wo at hannah more. 2 wu, then 8x800 st ev 4:00- they were more or less 308,305,304,303,301,302,300,256. It was fairly humid and actually started to storm right as we finished so no wd as I had to take Dylan home(good excuse). I felt like i needed extra rest slightly in the second half but we didnt take it and i wasnt dying so good. The avg was 303 hmph which is the same as 2 weeks ago and with one more- could certainly have done 9 esp if they were all like 300-302 at end. 2 weeks fro now is 8 again though. As it gets less humid these will get easier even at 80 degrees for me you feel really hot when you stop- as I said before the best part is the first 200 of each one as you arent tired and cool off. Darin did 8 600s btw pretty much with me and felt pretty good so that is a good solid wo.
Then today did 5 slow and fairly good feeling mile with Em and Merritt and Mers house. Also we saw Rachel D which was nice- she might run for Stevenson? or shes going to run Baltimore Marathon def with Ash B- cool! My feet were a little sore at the end of this one too.
And last but not least painful was the afternoon run today. At McD with Darin- we ran 2 initial laps with Mikey(jerk lol due to 6:25 pace) he teased me about my rival Lydia O- if things keep proceeding this way hopefully ill be able to beat more of the middle school girl contingent in 2 months. Then Darin and I ran down to HH bridge at solid pace like 715ish? On way back I started to get tired and halfway up hill to mile mark(Darin had already pulled ahead) I went into just finish this run mode heh. At least it wasnt just a survival shuffle/slog as I was still doing something approximating running so thats good. Hopefully I will recover for steady run tomorrow then easy saturday and then long run sunday prob at patapsco.
38 miles total in 5 days so far this week btw.
