Weekly Mileage: 7 (1 day)
Workout
7 miles at 7:05 pace
4x100 strides
Breakdown
Weather was perfect today when I ran. Sunny, light wind, high 50s. If the weather was like that everyday I feel like more people would love running. I took yesterday off as a rest day after my race on Saturday. My calves were tight for the whole run today, but that is to be expected after the first significant effort in racing shoes.
Other than the calves, which I really didn't notice much, I felt great today. Way better than I thought I was going to feel and that is encouraging because this week and next week are the two toughest weeks in my training. After these two weeks we go back down a bit in intensity and get ready to run the half marathon May 6. Feeling good.
Shoes
Adidas Supernova Ride... I don't like these shoes. I don't want to have to spend any more money on shoes because I just got these, but these simply aren't going to work for serious training. I don't trust Adidas shoes anyway (got my only stress fracture ever in Adidas) but these ones are tearing the bottom of my feet up and I don't know why.
Coming Up
Easy week for me at work in terms of games. Only one home lacrosse game and one home track meet this week and it's Easter weekend, so none of my teams are competing this weekend. I would go home, but my mom and sister are coming here for a few days Monday so there really isnt much point to go home. In terms of running... it's 8 miles tomorrow, 4 x 1 mile hard Wednesday, 7 Thursday, 4 Friday and 12 Saturday. Should be a fun week!
Trying to track down some photos from the race this weekend. I know they were taken, but no idea where they might be now. Let's go Kentucky tonight! (I don't really like Calipari, but if they win I win all of my brackets).
