did a 10 mile run today, everything felt good cept for the pads of my feet ...by mile 6/7 they were burning, i knew a blood blister was forming somehow. i did have one on one foot. i am not sure what the problem is, i had thick cushion socks on, i guess i need to try a thin pair. i also might rub glide on my feet next run. has anyone experienced this ?
avg 10.00 min mile even....which of course i think is neat. my last 3 miles were torture on my feet. i really need to find a way to get rid of this b/c it is just too painful.....

training....
first off i think it is happening, i think i am blogged out. i have a feeling i might be winding this down.
training has gone well for the half marathon. i did a 5 mile pace run and nailed it. so that was great. i am enjoying following a plan and not having swim and bike get in the way.
really enjoying speed work,tempo,pace, long runs, the mix up of it. before it was just about going out and running some miles.
i do plan on some sprint tris this summer, and i have been swimming once a week but that bike has cobwebs on it.

massage and some meat
today i went to get my legs massaged. my left calf has been acting up on my runs and i don't want to get injured. obviously my left side is taking on more since my right is the one that had the broken foot. i was told the normal stuff, to stretch before i run....to use foam roller....i know it so why don't i do it ??
i was craving a good burger. we have a bobby's burger place and i knew that is what i wanted, they have lovely sweet potato fries as well - it is a casual joint so dragging the kids is easy. man, it hit the spot. my body was obviously in need of some meat.
this weekend i have 5 miles with my group i am coaching and 9 on my own. hoping to get my 9 in even with hubby having to be away and having to get a sitter to do it, possibly in the rain.

getting my base back
i know i was out of running for a good 10 weeks, so why do i feel that i should be back to where i was in a shorter time ?
did 8 miles today, averaged just under 10 minute miles. I was happy b/c I felt I was stuck in the 10 to 11 minutes. It was a great day to run. Getting a bit bored with the same routes around my house. Do you run from your house in the hood or do you drive some where to run ??

speed work and weather memories
i did speed work today and i was lucky to have my friend join me, she is an elite runner and i adore her. she can to make me honest and she did. i was able to do 6 x 400's. when i did the first one i told her i was looking at 2.10, i forgot to time it....so i did the second one at 1.50, and each one was under 1.55, with 2 at 1.47. i have always said that my breathing is what gets tired, not my legs, and she noticed that. i feel like the vo2max that lance has - i have the opposite. either way it was a great day at the track.
next up, and i did promise only running talk but oh well. not many folks read this blog anyway i believe. the weather today is sooooo nice. warm but has a touch of that cool breeze. sometimes the weather will remind me of a childhood memory. it is amazing to me how just the feel of it outside is bringing me back to a ride home from my grandparents. i can not get it out of my mind. just from the feel of the weather.
