76 days to the MCM
I had a weird injury this week caused by the 2 mile excursion on the downpour on the 8th. That night a large callus (from an old blister from my last 12 miler) came off of the bottom of my foot. Certainly due to finishing that run in soaking wet shoes and socks. Well that would not have been a problem except that it tore off a chunk of "live" skin too, just behind the ball of my left foot on the outside. I had the hardest time getting that to heal up and had to limp around for 3 days trying not to tear he wound open. It was finally healed this morning so I could run again. VERY ANNOYING!
Training:
7 miles, hard hills, road, 9:00 am (the hill profile looks like the CO front range)
watch time - 6.71 miles; Total Time - 1:16:30; Avg pace - 11:24; Avg HR - 143; max HR - 167; Total ascent - 1239' (felt like "dog dirt")
Walked 18 Holes and shot 83 from the tips
tomorrow is 14 miles LSD (ouch)
Nutrition:
Breakfast - cheerios with fruit
Lunch - Boneless Buffalo wings
Dinner - Steak and grilled veggies
Dad,
I think for getting further on to the mid and for foot it helps to "lean into it a bit" and really concentrate on not over-reaching forward with your stride. Also I think of my legs like "springs" pushing me forward and not "ores" pulling me forward; that seems to help me with the feeling (especially uphill).
