2:36) - meaning it was really hot) 7.5 miles. Trail. Went a little too hard. Beat me up pretty good. If I had worn sweats, I would have thrown-up my toes and expired right there. Muscles and all feel quite good. Pretty stoked about the feet. I mentioned I jump roped the other day bare foot and kinda tore-up the bottom of my feet (I've been jump roping a little so it wasn't like I was brand new). I also mentioned I taped them up and ran later that day, after I thought I sustained a little injury. Two days later, they feel stronger than they have in a while. Very little if at all plantar fascia issues (knock on woodrowe). Enough said.
p.m.) 5.5 miles. Nice and easy. Just ate what someone like Gordo eats: egg whites, quinoa, avocado, spinach, big dose of olive oil and a few other lubricants. Nails.
Tomorrow I'm off to the land of Walsh. Thanks for the tip, JW. In the a.m. cloud cover, this should be just what the doctor ordered.

Tuesday - 7 miles
Legs felt pretty darn good after yesterday. But I had a little scare while I was jump roping. Been going barefoot and it kinda kicks my ass. Since I deal with a little plantar fascitis, I guess I'm playing with fire? When I finished a little "run," the bottom of my "good" foot got that nice strained feeling (like the bottom of your foot is "torn"). Great. Taped my feet and waited a while, and went for a run. So far so good.
An interesting exchange on Lucho's blog about running all bundled-up. A guy with a textbook had some cool tidbits to complement Lucho's thoughts on the matter. Needlesstosay I ran today in sweat pants. . . pretty lame attempt, sure, but it gets ya thinking.
Still playing with my summary to be. Though the theme is starting to take-on a much grander scope, I'm playing with the title "What Works for You? . . . Works for You." My wife's a mental health therapist, I teach, I'm starting to get more serious about endurance training and racing, organized religion scares the hell out of me. . . All of these discourses and so many more are rife with variation, debate and confusion. I'm going to TRY to stick to training and base my summary on what little I have come to know.

Monday - 14.5 miles
Ran 1:58. Big variety: rolling hills, trail, and hard flat. I took it easy in stretches, so there was a little jogging. Finished strong. What didn't help was a 3 mile tempo run to begin the work-out. Overall, happy with the beginning to the week. I'm half-way to last week's total.
