Week of December 8 (24)

Week 8.

Monday

I was a little surprised my weight wasn't higher after this weekend. Maybe I was used more moderation than expected. Coming off an easy week where I had 3 days off. 
I saw Dr. Caplan about my right foot pain. He suggests it's a joint capsule issue, where the second toe is the longest and more stress is placed there. He prescribed a pad which keeps my toe from over extending. I believe part of my problem is due to the stretching I was doing for plantar fasciitis. 

Evening run. AWU, lunges, squats, 5 easy at Victor Ashe and stretch.
7 minute workout, not too bad.

Tuesday

Noon run. AWU, drills, 4 miles easy with 4 x 100m strides. I finished with calf press 3 x 15 and stretch. I did not run with the new pad and I experienced some discomfort but nothing too debilitating. Iced. 

Wednesday

I had a weird feeling last night when I first went to bed, almost like a panic attack. I was able to work through it and slept great. 
Morning flow. Stretch and clams.
Evening run. AWU, drills, 5 easy, and stretch. I felt good today, my average pace was 9:10. No foot pain except for what felt like a blister around the callous on my right foot.  

Thursday

I slept great last night but I woke up tired. 
Morning flow. Stretch and clams.
Evening run. AWU, 4 miles easy with 4 x 100m strides and stretch. I didn't have any foot issues tonight. I did run in my foot pad, but had to remove it after my first stride. 

Friday

Last night I was working on my training plan and realized I was reverting back to using someone elses plan. I've been doing this long enough to know what works for or at least what doesn't work. 

Morning flow. 7 minute workout. 
Morning run at the Song Bird Trail. AWU, 6 miles and stretch. 
Gym session at Golds Oak Ridge. Sauna, C2 for 1k, calf press 3x10, TRX row 2x8, and stretch. 

Saturday

Hiked around Sapphire Valley. 

Sunday

I played volleyball for the first time in months. I didn't have any issues while playing, but my feet were a little sore after. We won in straight sets.
