Training Log Archive: Bags

The hard training caught up to me today...I was going to do my super slow start but non stop 8 miler...tripped on my own toe about 1.25 but landed in grass...at 2.6 or so I felt my left calf want to tighten...I was going even slower today and had debated about switching to walk jog figuring I would go faster considering I was barely under 14 min pace at 1.5 miles...but I pressed on another mile...once I switched to walk jog for once I never got into a flow where I ran quicker and longer during the 'jog' phase...I could barely go 25 to 35 yards before needing to walk...I cut a mile off my route and struggled in.

I have pushed it hard for a month and even back to Aug 31st...so not surprising...not really doing anything but fitness stuff and trying to run some semi-time-trials to see what I can get down to. Don't really have plans to race at this point...

Also my heart area continues to feel weak or strained at times. I don't know I ever had a really strong heart and am convinced if I had I would have been a faster runner and a stronger.
