5 days out from my first big event of the year and I managed to get a blister on my toe.
I was wearing my Hokas (that have almost 600 miles on them) and I was running on my treadmill (which I've done a ton so far this year), and 7 miles into an easy 8 miler the outside of my left big toe starts rubbing.
I finish my run, take off my shoe, just to find that I had my left sock on inside out (I get dressed in the dark). Who'd of thunk it would make such a difference!
Good news is that I ran today (with my socks on properly) and I had no issue so crisis averted.
Today I did a mini-workout. Started with 2 briskish miles of 7:17, 7:15 on my way to the track. Then did 6 X 200m with 200m recovery.
Then got another 1.5ish miles in at about 6:50 pace to finish up.
Wound up running 5 miles in 34:38 (6:55 pace) and didn't feel like it took too much out of me.
Kind of enjoyed the 200m workout with the combination of short bursts and a quicker than typical recovery pace. 2 sets of 12 of these would probably be a damn good workout.
Today, I was just trying to turn the legs over while not overdoing it. Mission accomplished!
Easy days plans for Thursday and Friday and then Saturday I should be ready to perform!
