Hills

Today, 10 total.

Had team practice at 2:30 so I set out early to get in some good 'ol runnin'!
2 mi wu
2 mi tempo hills
2 mi cd

I can't figure out how to use all the settings on the Garmin that Leah has let me use, so I can't check my splits for the tempo. I'm going to guess 6:30 average. The two miles was shorter than I expected. Apparently all the arboretum runs have been short changed for miles. The turn-around for what I thought 2 miles was is probably the 4 mile turn-around.

Met the two other long distance runners at 2:30 and headed out for an easy 4. Stopped after one mile to do something foreign. Stretch. I'm not sure of this concept they called "stretching" and what it's purpose was. All I know is it hurt.

Finished off with 8x barefoot strides on the football field. There is a nice astro-type-turf that is soft and cushy on the feet. However, with the cold temperatures the feet were numb by the end. This actually might have been beneficial because the neuroma in the left foot is starting to become noticeable on the runs. Damn damn damn. Going to have to start icing or something. Damn.

Overall, a good running day.
