A nice run today. We had planned to do 18 miles but I talked Karen F. and Karen H. into just going 15 as I was being careful with the right foot/heel tenderness. We met at 6:00 AM with Steve S. and Jason K. and headed out on the 10 mile Longhorn Dam route of Townlake. After 4 miles when we got to the 8 mile marker we ran hard for 3 miles to the 5 mile marker. This is a great push in the middle of a long run. Then we finished the 10 mile loop and then Karen F. and Karen H. and I did the 5 mile Congress Avenue loop. The right foot behaved quite well, but when we got to Maudie's for breakfast Karen had them bring me a bag of ice so I nursed the foot while we ate.
After breakfast Lynn and I went to the Container Store and then I used the gym pass that Karen H. had given me and I went in and used the pool and swam for 500 meters. It really did feel good to get in a swim. I need to be ready to swim 800 meters in two weeks at the Inks Lake Triathlon. What a great start to the weekend. |
