worst fucking run ever.
set out to do 10m today. wheels came off after 5. walked a total of a half mile over six stops on the last 5 miles. Felt the resurgence of an old left calf injury on mile 9.
FUCK that was really really shitty.
Got home, very cold, soaked through from sweat. left hammie locked up when I tried getting off the floor.
Sat in an ice bath for 10 minutes, stretched, drank pickle juice (supposed to help).
going to take a hot bath with epsom salts in a few, then stretch.
FUCK ME IN THE EYE SOCKET!
half marathon is next Sunday. God damn you running gods. why couldn't you have just given me a nice last long run before the race? WHY!?!??!?!?
oh, stats - finished 9.4 miles in 1:23:39, 8:50 avg pace when running. Including the stops it took me 1:35:20 for an average of 10:08/m ![arizona](/images/graemlins/default/facepalm.gif)

43 degrees, raining. 3.6 miles, in 36 minutes. Not the most awesome weather, but I ain' gonna melt from a little water.
First time i've run consistent 10min splits across the whole run! usually it's high 10s, low 11s, maybe a high nine.
but this... this i'm happy with. That'd have been what, a 32:00 5k time? My last official 5k was in the 35s.

I'm taking about a week off from running due to my knee feeling funny. And my diet has sucked for about a month and a half - gained three or four pounds back. Need to get myself back on track.
Got two cross races this weekend to help, and it looks like we will have some mud

Good luck on sunday Beefy...I expect to a new PR out of you. ![laugh \:D](/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) I'm gonna just take this one easy I think. Not gonna shoot for a PR. the training between the last half in early October and this one hasn't been all that great, and with the really shitty 10miler and cramping I had last Sunday I don't know what this Sunday is going to end up like. My strategy is to go easy for the first 5 and see how I feel, then reassess for the last 8.
I'm playing my tiny violin right now for ya. J/K....who knows, maybe the lighter training load will be good for your race.
Had a pretty good run today. Used runkeeper again and it says I did 4 miles in 33:28...8:23/mi. Again, I can't believe how my speed has increased over the last few months...if I wasn't pushing that stroller I'd be sub 8's for sure. Hopefully I'll get a solo long run in this weekend.
