    Long run foiled by migraine. I was actually just putting on my running clothes and got as far as my left sock when I noticed the first spot in front of my eyes. Sat there for a while hoping I had j... read more

    alrightSlow VFF Recovery 3.01 mi 00:32 10:37 pace

    Slow recovery run. Wore the VFFs as usual for these runs. Was getting into a surprisingly comfortable forefoot strike pattern when I started noticing a twinge in the left ankle. Reverted to a more ... read more

      I always tell myself, there's only so much damage I can do to myself in 30min. right? Surely it's nothing. :) Enjoy your rest days Keith, I know you'll nail that long one!

      I don't know. I've done some decent damage in under a second once or twice in my life. :) But everything feels fine today, so I think I'm OK.

      Glad the ankle is OK, Keith! It's always a little scary to feel those twinges. I get a few of them, and I'm always a little concerned, but seems like they are all gone in a day or so!

    1 mile warm up, 3.75 miles at 8:25, 1 mile cool down.

    2 weeks ago I did 35 minutes at around 7:57, but that was too fast - faster than my 5K PR pace, and I had to take a break in the middle. Also,... read more

      Good work, Keith, sounds like you are learning what works best for you without overdoing it. I think that's one of the real challenges with running, finding that balance in all the different types of runs.

      Looks like you've found your zone, Keith! It's different for every runner, and different for the same runner as state of training changes. Good job!

      What a great milestone. One year later many people that start out running can not say that they still are running. Way to join the club-you are a lifer!

      No 11 miler can be called a fail, Keith! These tough runs test your mettle and you made it through, hills and all. Good work out there today, mental and physical. That next run will feel easy compared to this one.

      Thanks for the encouragement. I'm up for another 11 miler this week. But I intend to stick to my schedule this week, which will give me two full days off beforehand. I'll also get out before the heat. I'm sure it'll be much better.

      Hey I just caught up with your 400s from yesterday! Nice! You know I support your right to post however you like, right? ;) But just gaze on how much tidier your quarters look now, with a little math massaging! :)

      Hope the run clears your head and the rain away. We had rain last night but a cool breeze is drying things up for sure. Nice run early in the AM Keith.

      I spoke too soon on the migraines. Wound up with one this morning. :(

      Didn't go running today (Wednesday). Was supposed to do intervals, but it was totally pouring out, so I'm shifting everything one day over. The rest of the week is supposed to be nice, and hopefully my head will cooperate.
