Mon - Off (travel day back from NM)
Tues:

pm - 5 miles (700'). Falls/Spring Creek loop.
Weds:

pm - 6.5 miles (1,700'). To top of Horsetooth and back.
Thurs:

Fri:
am - 2.5 miles (500'). Bench and back.
pm - 6 miles (1,500'). Horsetooth/Audra.
Sat - 20 miles (800') easy w/Alex and Kemp. Roads from JJs along dam to Centennial, then Horsetooth Half route to Overland and back to JJs.
Sun - 0 miles. Some significant pain in the ball of my foot under the second toe in the latter half of this week. Ran through it, hoping it would go away, but after 20 miles Saturday it was pretty evident that this was more than bruising. Bagged a planned 13 miler with Eric B.
Total: 53.5 (8,100'). Next week may well be a goose egg. My foot feels like it will need time to heal (see Sunday) - possibly an inflamed tendon, and praying it is not a stress fracture. Either way, I'm going to give it the time it needs and not do anything silly this early in the year.

Ack. Sorry to hear that man. Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteYour a very smart runner, take the short time off to heal and you will be back at it stronger. Good luck with the healing. We are looking for a strong spring for you!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it is nothing serious. Definitely take some time off - if I learned anything in the past year it is that a couple days off early can prevent 6-8 weeks off if you try to train through it.
ReplyDeleteHope you heal quickly. Still, to be safe, maybe you shouldn't run until the Salida marathon...
ReplyDeleteGonna be up in the Ft. Collins area next Mon-Wed - are you up for a run in the PM? If not, where are the areas you run. I see Horsetooth quite a bit on your blog.
ReplyDeleteScott - would be happy to show you some Fort Collins dirt, assuming we can find some under the icy crustiness that seems to have taken up residence here. Horsetooth is essentially my backyard, so would be a good bet.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my profile page for my email and we can figure out the details from there. Looking forward to it.
