The Road To Boston XII

I rebounded quite nicely this week and put in a solid workload. I rested Monday. Tuesday I was out on the track for 1000s and 2000s: 1000, 400m rest, 2000, 400m rest then 2x1000. For some reason, I hate odd distances like this. By odd, I mean odd in the sense that it doesn't match up to laps on the track. Wednesday I rested, because Tuesday night Tina and I went to see Keller Williams up in Harrisburg and we got in late. Thursday I ran 9.33 miles @ 7:54 pace, which I'm hoping will be marathon pace come April. Friday I swam 2000 yards. Saturday I was going to take Kyler skiing, but we didn't go because of the rain. I had my long run planned for Sunday, so I rode the bike trainer for 45 minutes at 100 rpms Saturday morning. Today, Sunday, I did my long run: 16.1 miles at 7:55. I ran this despite contending with head winds at times that made me feel like I was running on a treadmill. Another item of note about todat's run was that I tried out some new Superfeet insoles. They seemed to help the plantar fasciitis, because my foot, while a little sore, wasn't too bad today.
