so i guess i was right, last week was just a fluke. monday i stayed up ok for a toploop & a biggie loop considering i can't climb hills for my life. today was a very good run in the thompson park trails although i fell and got some scratches on my leg. 45 minutes at around 7:00-7:15 pace. felt comfortable but not easy b/c my right achilles was a little bitchy.
in other news, lagat totally owned the 5000 as i expected. no one can touch his kick at this point. manzano outkicked him last year in US champs but i really doubt that he will again. webb is...idk.
im totally changing my summer running plans. instead of doing mccaffs tempo runs/moderate run plan at incredibly fast paces (6:20-6:30), im going w/ long, hard runs at moderate to hard paces (7:00-7:30). so tomorrow i will do a nice 8-10 miler. for speed and tempo runs, ill just do w/e mccaff tells us to do at practice. this is kinda like karl's plan except im gradually building up to more mileage & im not going at a slow pace.
ive finally decided on an xc spike: Nike Zoom Forever XC in black/yellow/blue/white. i can get em cheap for $50 on eastbay.
now that my running is back on track, the next step is to bring it to the next level.
