My plan for today was to run 8 or 9 in the morning and then another 4 in the evening. I was deciding between taking a rest week or increasing mileage. During June, I was very consistent with regards to training, doing just about 50 miles a week. Time for either a rest or increase in distance.
I woke up early and started around 9 am. I felt strong throughout the first 2 miles, but by the time I was getting close to the golf course(mile 2), I was feeling the effects of the weekend/humidity. I was trying to run a little bit faster, but at mile 4 I stopped to catch my breath. I struggled through the last 3.5 miles, moving considerably slower than the first half of my run. I was able to continue without stopping, but may have finished with a 10 minute mile.
Once finished, the knees/IT was feeling sore. All this contributed to my decision to take it easy for the week.
Change of plans: This is my easy week. Hopefully an easy week will allow my IT/knee problems to fully heal so that I can increase mileage for the next month. I would like to put in 55-60 miles next week and maybe even get track work in.
Crossin' my fingers!
