    Strength training 00:25

    Mostly traditional strength stuff but I did throw in a bit of ring work.

  2. walk
    Barefoot treadmill 1.48 mi 00:25 16:53 pace

    More barefoot walking... I really want to run! Today's 7 days since Uhwarrie so in the next day or two I'll be ready to roll...

  3. #dailymission Knowing I could not fail would take half the fun out of trying the kinds of events I like to do. :-/ (I've never had a DNF so maybe I'm not pushing myself hard enough!)

  4. FIT
    Upper Body strength

    More traditional upper body workout than what I normally do...

  5. walk
    Barefoot TM 1.4 mi 00:25 17:51 pace

    More barefoot on the TM.

    Left BOF 90% back to normal.

    Right Hip 75% there.

      I have to say that this is the hardest self imposed no running post marathon/ultra that I've ever been through. For some reason, this time I just want to run! But I know from the past it is good to take some time off after such an effort. :-/

      i'll give it a day or two... i think it is just the pounding over that distance and not really alignment being out of whack.

    I'll try to keep this short as I'll probably write a race report on my blog, but suffice it to say I had a pretty solid run. My goals were: 1) have fun, 2) finish, 3) beat last year's time of 8:5... read more

      Wow, great run, Sean. I can't remember; have you tried the MT110s? If you can fit your feet into Kinvaras/Peregrines, they would probably work for you. And they have a rock plate.

      I'm not sure exactly... I think 3:45 or so... I knew I'd loose a decent amount of time on the way back, especially the 1st 4-5 after the turn around...

      My lungs were abit under develop due to slightly premature birth, so I has quite abit of breathing difficulty as a child. I took allergy shots and inhalers thru my early 20s but final decided to live and fun without them. The only times I have breathing difficulty is when I have some sort of respiratory illness/cold or if I run excessively fast in a race situation. Do you think yours could be allergy or illness related?

      I'm not really sure... I learned not to run outside on bad air quality days, and that sure helped a lot. I used to run in the heat of the day thinking it made me a stronger runner. :-/ I think cleaning up my diet helped some too. Anyway, I get it every now and then but have not used an inhaler in probably 3 or 4 ears. I am doubtful of any allergies this time of year. It did seem awfully dry outside today.

    Had to be in town again, on two different sides of town, so walked back and forth.

  17. #dailymission I've worn my Florida coast to coast race buff for at least the start of every race for the past 4 or 5 years. But hey, a buff is tremendously practical because it has so many uses!

      I think those Bacon socks would work too... But yes, that is one reason I wear the buff at the start.
