Comments:
Ran from home at 3:40 to meet Jeff at his house. A few stretches of stiff, cold wind. I felt very lethargic, presumably from the workout yesterday and perhaps from having been dehydrated during it? Never loosened up much and spent the whole run feeling tired and slow. Pace was likely around 8 on avg, but felt a lot slower. Jeff's company was the only thing that kept me from turning this into a 3 mile recovery run. Still, it is a good sign that I can manage a 9 mile recovery run. he and I looped Little Falls' stream trail and through the woods to Sangamore and finished with a loop in his hood, before i headed home alone through Westland and the edge of Kenwood... Still about a week away on full bloom, I suspect. The final stretch from Oliver and Wisc was 5:17 which likely means about 8 pace. Both feet are still fairly achy. They throbbed all Saturday after the track work. I really need to ice them. Also, I bought the Endorphin Speed 3s today (with plastic blades... downmarket version of the speed shoes.) I'll test them out soon and hope they make me feel good at Cherry Blossom as well as perhaps help my foot pains?
