This weekend, I did my last run during "recovery" from my 15K race.. I did an easy 7 miler, with nothing terribly exciting to write about. The legs feel much better, and there's just a tiny amount of muscle fatigue. The 7 miles were strong, even though the pace was fairly relaxed.
I've been having a little bit of arch pain in one foot, and it started after the race.. It's significantly better than a week ago, so I'm not too concerned about it. I've been reading about plantar fasciitis, and I don't think that's it.. I think it's just tight and bruised. I really need to get to a real running store and find some new shoes, though.
So, I have 4 training weeks until a taper. This is it, the final push.. Stay healthy.. stay healthy..
I'd like to get two longer runs of 10+ miles in before the half, possibly 3. If I can run 10 miles now, I figure I can eek out another 5K on race day, so I'm in decent shape as is. A little more training could yield some benefits, though.
More importantly, I'm trying to be better about doing leg exercises to strengthen some of the weaker muscles and prevent crazy imbalances. Leg raises and squats have been on the menu a lot lately. (Speaking of, have you seen the 200 squat challenge? That's an idea for the coming months..)
That's about all for now.. And no, CJ, I'm not that crazy about Tebow time here in NY. That smells like a QB controversy every. single. week. Sigh. As if the locker room didn't have enough problems already..
Keep on rockin'!

Oh come on, you're going to love getting on one knee. As much as I love Tebow, when you put two of the worst rated quarterbacks in the league on such a high profile team there is going to be controversy. It cannot be avoided. I still think he should have gone to Jacksonville.
Plenty of people top out the long runs at 10 miles before a half. You're in good company there.
