This is the beginning of my 6th week of running following my time off.
Monday
As usual, my weight was up this morning. I need to get a handle on this weekend weight gain.
Morning session. Stretch and hip strengthening.
Evening run. AWU, lunges, 5 miles easy, and stretch.

Tuesday
I went to bed with achy legs; not too bad this morning.
Morning session. Foot rehab, stretch, and ab core.
Noon run. AWU, easy 4 miles, core, and stretch. I say easy, this this run was far from easy. My feet and knee hurt and the level of effort was high. Something notable, I didn't take my Loxicam.
Wednesday
Recovery and massage day.
Thursday
Up early for my 4th Hot to Trot. My goal was to run around 9 minute pace and a negative split. I ran a little fast at 8:45 and I was able to negative split. I didn't have any foot pain until after the race but it didn't persist (iced).
Friday
Today is another recovery day.
I purchased a pair of Superfeet Carbon inserts. I hope this helps with my foot pain.
