I hope I am not breaking the rules of the blog by not giving daily accounts, but I am too lazy to go back and post each run on their respective day. I will get back into the habit though. My stress fracture seems to have healed in my left foot and I had a nice week of running. In summary:
Feb. 7th: 6 miles 46:06 (7:41)
Legs heavy, but beautiful day in Eugene. 55 clear skies, ran the long loop of Pre's Trail.
Feb. 8th: 4.25 miles 31:46 (7:28)
3 laps Amazon EZ pace, legs still sore but good. Calm and 45F, ideal. (7:41, 7:44, 7:27)
Feb. 9th: 4.25 miles 31:15 (7:21)
3 laps Amazon, heavy legs but wanted to pick it up anyways. (7:49, 7:19, 6:38) Smooth on the last two laps.
Feb. 11th: 8.75 miles 74:24 (8:30)
Woke up at 6AM! after 7.5 hrs sleep. Felt awake. Luke and I took on the trails leading to Fox Hollow climb/descent and back. Super slow starting off, and very soft Rexius bark slowed the pace down. ~40 min. out/~34.5 min back! Took the alternate descent back down, super muddy and fun! Climbed Fox Hollow in ~10:12.
Feb. 13th: 6.25 miles 46:26 (7:26)
Had a few too many beers the night before.. 58F ran at 430PM. Rexius loop at a moderate-->hard effort on very soft bark/mud in some sections. Almost lost my shoes in the mud a few times but kept a nice progressive pace. Splits in (7:21, 7:22, 6:50![3:21,3:29], 3:31). Right when I got off Rexius, my stomach started to hurt (probably a direct result of last night's events)! I cooled down slowly back to South Eugene HS, walked maybe .25 miles (hence the 6.25 total) and then was able to run back home.
29.75 miles, 5 runs
