Ran the 7 mile Mo-Pac to I35 loop at Lady Bird this morning in 1:10. I ran at a pretty good pace and got in a couple of good walk breaks. My time includes a cool down walk across the footbridge. No residual soreness from the hill repeats yesterday.

I'm really going to try to get in another 7 tomorrow morning. That's going to be a bit tough because I'll have to be packed up for our trip to Houston when I leave the house tomorrow morning.

Steve and I did 3 Jester hill repeats for a total of 5 miles this morning!! It took us almost exactly an hour.

Pretty excited about starting some hill training towards Cactus Rose. Today sort of makes it feel official.

Yesterday morning I mentioned to Misty that I was thinking of moving down to the 50k at Hell's Hills. She encouraged me to stick with the 50 mile even if I'm super slow. That's all I needed to hear. I love her!!

Got in 14 miles at Barton Creek. Had planned on getting in 21 but had enough of the muck and cashed it in. Physically I felt good and my time was 3:05. I'm so ready for the weather to clear up.

Had a good 7 mile run with Steve and Shan. We started at the 1st St parking lot and ran Longhorn Dam around Lamar and back in 1:07. The consensus opinion is that loop is longer than 7 miles. Our time did not reflect our effort at all.

Continuing to wear the boot at nite.....brought a frozen water bottle to roll my foot several times during the day. I'll also be rolling my foot with the TP ball frequently.

Ran the 7 mile Mopac- I35 loop at Lady Bird this morning. It was freaking cold!!! I didn't bust it too hard....running and walking it in 1:11 including a cool down walk on the footbridge under Mopac. It was a good "time on feet" workout.

Physically everything is feeling okay except for my right plantar. It won't seem to go away. I do need to roll it more often and I did sleep with the boot last nite. I'm going to continue with the boot for a while. I'm hoping it's the shoes (Brooks Cascadia. I hadn't a problem in years until I started wearing them. I pulled the trigger on some La Sportiva's today. Mark Lindsey raves about them so I'm hoping they workout well.

So far so good this week with the higher mileage....and the forecast now has NO rain for Thursday morning!!!
