Injury and Race

So i promptly hurt my foot on the first long run of my marathon plan.  Ive spent the last 2 weeks nursing it back to health - only to race on it last night.  It doesnt feel great now - so Ill plan on another 2 weeks of rest before trying again.  Can still either target Philly later in november,- maybe phoenix or just some solid fall races.



Thursday night i did the thursday night fever 5k last night.  Foot hurt and super humid.  still managed a 22:33 and a 7:16 pace.  Not bad.  Im good wit that all things considered. 

Tonight i did a good nice 42 minutes swim out at walden.  Need to do more of that and the rower for a few more weeks.    

Officially week 16

So this week was my official start to my 16 week training plan.  Last sunday I did my first track workout - 3x1 miles.  I think these were around the 6:28 - strava had one of them at 6:15 - but I was looking at the watch and I think they were all just under 6:30. 

had a nice swim sunday night for my x-training.  Tuesday I did the 2 mile tempo.  Felt awesome.  goal was 7:00 - and i landed them at 6:58 and 6:48.  Love that 2 mile tempo - would be nice if more were scheduled for this plan.

Today I did my first long run (only 13). Felt good for the first 11 miles.  Last two were slow and a bit painful.  Still managed the target pace (8:17 - goal was 8:16).  Main worry now is my right foot hurts like hell - probably need to ice it.  hope this does not persist.
