Tired

7/22/07- Day off. Wasn’t planning it but a lazy Sunday can be very persuading.

Miles: 0

7/23/07- Long Run. River road trail full + 2 miles more at the end. Minutes 10-45 burning pain in calves, feet numb at times, exacerbated by steep terrain. Pain almost unbearable at times. This always happens the day back! After topping out at school at 6.5 miles and massaging and stretching like mad, pain finally mellowed out. Last 6.5 miles at 7:40 pace, occasionally faster.

7/24/07- Extended Big Jungle plus cool down on track. Very tired. Calves not so sore, but still took 35 minutes to get legs really moving decently. After viewing Ian’s mileage for his time in college, I realized I don’t need to risk injury by ramping up from 0 to 70 in 4 or 5 weeks. Already having done approximately 0-20-40-50, I think ill call it a rest week after this, let the early miles go to work while I can still sleep 12 hours a day.

Miles: 7

7/27/07- Got up early, sat around for an hour after drinking a cup of apple juice and went for a 4.5 mile run around the community. It was 12:30 and 90 degrees and humid. This probably was one of the most painful runs I have ever done. I trudged around at 9 min pace, dying from the heat. Thank god I’m going back to tech.
