For those paying attention last weeks Half Marathon Training update was also title “9 Weeks to Go”. Apparently I’m an idiot and have problems reading a calendar but this week is actually 9 weeks to go until April 2nd. (I did mention this in my first training update with 10\/11 weeks to go but no one corrected me so you all can share the blame.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, the week was good and bad depending on how you look at it. I ran 6 and a half miles on Wednesday morning and it went pretty well. I took it easy compared to how I normally go and still managed to average about 7:50 per mile. Monday and Thursday morning I swam and Thursday’s swim was particular a really good workout. I took Friday and Saturday off and on Sunday I went out for a nice long easy 8 mile run. I didn’t set out planning to go 8 miles it just kind of happened. I picked my route out and I was feeling so good that I decided to just keep going. It was one of those runs where it just feel effortless and I hit my stride really early on.<\/p>\n

Now for the bad part. My heel has been bothering me on and off for a while but after that long Sunday run it went from just being a low grade nuisance to I can barely walk. It got progressively got worse all day on Sunday and Monday I was kind of hobbling along. It got bad enough that I’ve made an appointment with an orthopedic specialist on Friday to see if there isn’t something else going on. Hopefully it’s nothing and I’ll be back running again soon but until I see him I’m going to stop running and just swim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
