This week I had some great things come from training and a small setback. My 8-mile progression run was the good news. From this progression run, I now feel very confident in my strength at this point. According to my earlier logs, on Feb 13, 2008 I was very happy with a 20:49 tempo run for 4 miles. My PR's at the time were 4:11/8:30/14:47. Now I am able to do twice the distance at a much faster pace. This past week, I ran the first 4 miles in 20:33 and the last 4 miles in 19:11. I didn't really look at the splits while I was running, but after the run, I even found it hard to believe. Very happy.
This week I was also scheduled to run a 3k at the BU Valentine meet, but I had some soreness and inflamation in my left achilles. Just to play it safe, Coach G and I decided to scratch. With probably a long outdoor season coming up, there's no point of risking any injuries. After two days off and some theraphy, I feel much better now and seem to have the problem under control.
For the near future, here are some racing plans:
Feb 25- Armagh 5k in Ireland
Feb 28- Ras na hEireann 6k race in Ireland
March 18-20 - Spring break race TBA (This is my debut for UML)
April 16 Mt.SAC 5k (hope to run about 13:40-45 here)
I'll probably have a few other smaller races to sharpen up, but that's the basic picture.
