log 06.07.2008 - 19.07.2008 and an apology

06.07.2008 0.00 off day (not by choice, i started to run but my left leg's tendon felt really bad, and decided to call it after like 5-10 minutes of it not going away). Decided to make this a "recovery week"
07.07.2008 12.50 not to be too ambitious I ran to my HS practice, did their practice, ran to matt's and had him take me home. Foot still hurts, but I managed to average 5:59.79 for the first 5.5 miles (because I thought I would be late). I am sad.
08.07.2008 9.00 decided to scrap today's summer track meet in favor of a long run to the meet..but it was done before I got there and matt took me back. Foot was okay as long as I didn't land weirdly.
09.07.2008 5.00 Speedway/Wilmot loop. Went slowish but foot still hurts :(
10.07.2008 14.00 ran to my HS practice, did their practice, and ran to burger king (arts sister works there and took me home :D). I am faster than anyone else there by a ridiculous margin even with the additional ~10 miles.
11.07.2008 6.00 Easy 6 to broadway and back in 43:54; the foot is feeling better, but definitely non-optimal as of right now. Decided to not make this a "recovery week" since I'm close in mileage anyways.
12.07.2008 12.00 12 to rincon and back a slightly different way. Took 93:14 including stops, route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2072942
Total 58.50



13.07.2008 0.00 off day
14.07.2008 15.00 ran this route to get to himmel park with a lot of additional mileage while swinging by the school to see the kids at practice: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2079628 pretty fun and we played frisbee at the park after and ate eegees. Danny drove me back home. I've decided this foot problem is not going to go away but it doesn't affect me when I'm running so I'll just deal.
15.07.2008 10.50 didnt run in the meet because I am afraid of messing up my leg. But ran to the meet and had maria drive me back. Also "warmed up" with matt, for a mile when I got there, although I was already plenty warm. Route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2083134
16.07.2008 4.50 easy run with matt after a hellboy marathon (both 1 and 2 in succession) to cloud and pantano. Took 38:08, but we weren't going fast at all.
17.07.2008 12.00 ran to rincon and back the special way, untimed
18.07.2008 12.50 ran to maria's and back, but went pretty slowly because of residual tiredness from yesterday. Also, of the last 24 hours, I have spent 16.3 at Target. :(
19.07.2008 9.50 destroyed some n00b during my run along wrightstown for a mile along speedway. I think he was trying to race me, but I'm not too sure. Took 68:14
Total 64.00

Also, I'm sorry to Garrett and Kangway, and my other readers who think I should update more often. I actually haven't been on teh internetz lately so I didn't see your comments. Work + Running = No time to do much except sleep. I'll try to update more often from now on.

Chief,

Training looks very good. What happened to your foot exactly?? I happen to familiarity with a plethora of feet problems. Do you think your summer meets had anything to do with? I'm glad to hear you are playing it smart but still be careful. Keep up the good work. You can try adding in easy morning runs to help adjust for 7 a.m. preseason workouts. It can also pad your weekly mileage. I think 60 a week in singles should be about the max. Most top 10k runners do 65 a week in singles and then 5 every morning to make 100 a week. It seems to be the golden rule. Just keep your singles where they are and slowly work in 3 or so miles each morning. If your job interferes with this, quite. By the way what is your job??
