June 29, Monday

So another week has gone by without posting, but I’m not going to talk about that right now. I am going to talk about what I believe was really totality of running and training in June. Early in the month I was hosting to myself about how my legs were holding up and recovering quickly from some pretty strong workouts. But in later days of the month my legs began to feel heavy and some small nicks started to appear like a bit of soreness in my right Achilles tendon and some upper leg muscle tweaks.  I felt compelled to take off 5 full days of rest from June 16th to June 26th. From checking back through the month today I learned that I had run 11 pretty hard workouts in the first 22 days. I did not realize I was doing that much quick work. I was just happy that my legs were moving quickly and without soreness. I have to be much more aware of he hard days that I am injecting into my training. So my new goal is to spend a few weeks running more distance at 10: 00 per mile pace probably with some pickups along the way or speed segments as I call them. The last six days have been rest and recovery only. I have not gotten out yet today. Somewhere around 7:30 I will go to the cinders track and see how my legs feel.

STATS- Except for some mild Achilles soreness in my right foot, all stat indicators are stable and sound.
