So far, week nine is going pretty good but there is still 3 days of this week left so anything can happen. I have to say that I am going to look forward (and hope for good runs) to this weekend as the high is going to reach 60 degrees.... on both days.
Monday of course was a rest day, and I very much enjoyed it.
Tuesday I got up to 41 degrees but with a feels like 37 degrees, with 6 mph NW winds. I dressed.... appropriately. I felt sluggish and slow but it was a good run nonetheless, though a little chilly.
I ran 8 miles in 1:21:09 with an average pace of 10:08 min/miles, an elevation gain of 138 feet.
Laps/splits were:
Mile 1 - 10:38
Mile 2 - 10:16
Mile 3 - 9:57
Mile 4 - 10:19
Mile 5 - 10:11
Mile 6 - 9:59
Mile 7 - 10:08
Mile 8 - 9:40
I think my sciatic nerve is being a total pain in the butt (literally) and it's definitely causing my feet some irritation. My left foot was hurting, at the top of my foot in particular. I definitely need a massage, which I've already set an appointment for this Friday.
This morning I thought I was going to get screwed, Dorian woke up at like 3:20 but luckily fell back to sleep. I woke up at 4:30, and was able to sneak out pretty successfully. It was 34 degrees, with 4 mph NW winds... nothing unusual. I gave those darn GT-2000 4 shoes another chance, this time loosening the shoe strings some, my feet were still acting weird due to my sciatic nerve but the pain and burning/tingling sensation never really happened (thank goodness).
I ran 10.1 miles in 1:38:57 with an average pace of 9:48 min/mile, believe me it felt slow. Elevation gain of 210 and a loss of 209 feet.
Laps/splits:
Mile 1 - 10:21
Mile 2 - 10:07
Mile 3 - 9:56
Mile 4 - 9:55
Mile 5 - 9:46
Mile 6 - 9:49
Mile 7 - 9:48
Mile 8 - 9:34
Mile 9 - 9:38
Mile 10 - 9:10
Hopefully, just hopefully the rest of this week goes good.
