SHMT, Day 6
I had a running partner this morning, hooray!
I rolled out of bed at 5:13am, boo! (The alarm did not sound at 5:00 as it was supposed to, I swear.)
A chilly and damp morning at the track, and the dampness, combined with the valley in which the high school and its track are located, meant that we both noticed and noted the lingering vehicle-exhaust in the air we were trying to breathe. Ick.
New shoes today - the ones I have been using to this point have a bit more support on the inside of the foot, which is fine for a lot of runners, and doesn't bother my right foot, but since I tend to strike on the outside of my left foot, that additional support on the inside of my left foot doesn't do me any good, and in fact could be doing some harm. (My left calf's been more sore, post-run, than the right throughout this training.)
While the jury should still be out on whether the new shoes make a difference (sample size = 1), I will say that my left calf muscle is not sore this morning. That's encouraging.
Four miles plus four "run at the same pace but turn the legs over faster" intervals - our "cartoon" running, as Shar likes to put it. It felt good. I was worried that it would be a horrible run; I was really tired last night, and went to bed early.
A day off, then three miles on Saturday and the 10K Dawg Dash run on Sunday.
