A nice night at McNeil HS track. I got there early and got in 6 miles warm-up before the running group showed up. Temps were in the high 60's or low 70's, just right. We had about 55 of us in the group tonight. Lots of great marathon and half marathon stories from Sunday's San Antonio races. After the drills and accellerations, Donnie had us do 4 each 300 meters ladder and then some 700 meter loops as well. Tom and I did the 4 each 300 meter runs with times of 1:21; 1:16; 1:11; and 1:00 (a 5:20 mile pace). Tom had to go to work and I had enough after getting the 6 warm-up miles as well, so we just did a cool down 1/4 mile and we were on our way.
The right heel is still some painful (plantar fasciitis) as I wait for my orthotics in a week (next Tuesday). A great night of running, though.

I untaped the right foot and was on my way to the foot doctor after work tonight to get retaped for the plantar fasciitis but they said they were closing early so I didn't get it taped back up. I'll do it myself.
Cold front blowing in this evening. Lynn and I went over to Florence HS track and I did 3 miles, just to give me some time on my feet running. Anyway, it felt good just to get out for a little run tonight. With the wind blowing and getting cold I felt sorry for Lynn and decided to cut my run short. | | Add Comment |
