I'm trying to get more relaxed about my training. After all, the only big race on my schedule is in August. I've been keeping my Plantar Fasciitis in check, and my knee is doing well. The top of my foot is fine as long as I keep my laces very, very loose.
I ran 20 miles last Sunday on the treadmill at planned marathon pace + 30-45 seconds. It was pretty tough doing it on the treadmill, but I got through it. My toe blistered up, which was unusual, but I did not put any lubricant on my feet like I normally do for long runs so I should have expected it.
I ran 15 miles today at PMP +20 seconds and I ran 10 miles at PMP (6:50min/mile) on Thursday. I'm feeling pretty good.
My target for this week was 14 hours this week. I've only trained 10 hours thus far. I spent most of the afternoon yesterday working in the yard. I've decided to pull back a little - I don't need to do 14 hours for a sprint Duathlon in 3 weeks, and a marathon in 7 weeks. 10 hours is plenty.
I may do some swimming this afternoon, if I feel like it.
