Father of Six

During last Sunday’s 12 mile RLR, I developed a massive blister underneath an already massive callus under my right little toe. It was very painful, so in addition to taking my normal Monday off day, I took Tuesday off too and did 3.5 miles on the elliptical trainer.

Wednesday I did a 3 mile tempo run on the treadmill in 29:32, 9:51 per mile pace, 144 bpm average HR.

Thursday I did a 5 mile LSD run outside w/hills in 57:38, 11:32 per mile pace, 143 bpm average HR.

Friday I did a 3 mile recovery jog on the treadmill in 31:06, 10:22 per mile pace, 146 bpm average HR.

Saturday I did a 5 mile race pace run on the treadmill in 47:45, 9:33 per mile pace, 149 bpm average HR. My fastest ever 5 mile treadmill run.

Sunday (today) I did a 8.5 mile RLR outside w/hills in 1:37:42, 11:30 per mile pace, 143 bpm average HR.

I ran 24.5 miles this week, and 271 miles for the year.
