I got in 3 strength sessions, 2 bikes and a short swim in addition to my 3 runs.
The track session was 1mi, 2mi them 2x800. The target pace was 7:05 or so. Which was a little slow but people were still feeling Sunday's long run and I wasn't complaining.
Thursday's tempo run was moved to Friday because of the holiday. 1mi easy, 5 hard and 1 easy. This was easy for me. I had a great run and my tempo miles were ahead of pace.
Sunday was 17mi of rolling hills. Target pace was between 8:47 and 9:05. I was 8:56 which is pretty well in the middle. That includes a stop to water the plants at about mile 8.
But this run was tough mentally. It started to feel hard from about mile 7 or so on. My hr was around 155 for most of the run. The last couple of miles I picked up the pace and my hr went with it. This I think was a mistake. I'm not sure it is a good idea to let training sessions become races. Gonna talk with mike about that.
My real concern is my right foot. I have some swelling and tenderness under the ball of my right foot. It came on a couple of weeks ago and gets better as I get farther from my long run if the week.
For now I will watch and wait. I have built so many miles so early that if I have to shut down for a week or so I can. For sure I will take a long hard taper.
My achilles feel great and my sinuses are good.
After the 17, I took the kids on a hike.
