Despite my running all day on 3 hrs of sleep from my frantic work the night before, I somehow managed to drag myself out onto the road to do some hill repeats! Since I was feeling a bit lathargic and due to the fact that my 5k is on Saturday and my racing flats are not quite broken in, I wore the Waffles! I did a nice slow jog to my hill, which is a pretty steep section of a hill that rises for about 2 miles (not vertically mind you). Its actually a pretty fun hill to run all the way up, probably because I like the challange.
Like I was saying, yesterday I was supposed to do 9x repeats, and despite being tired I managed to do all 9 at a pretty good clip. I think the shoes helped a bit, even though my body felt like it had gotten beat up at the end. I guess I did not anticipate that I would be running 6 miles in those shoes. I am almost positive I will not be running a marathon in those shoes, but if I give it a little bit longer, I might get used to them and take them out on a 10k race.
On the injury front, I have been doing a good job I think of keeping myself from relapsing into either the shin splints, or the hamstring tendon rupture by not doing any full out sprinting, and maintaining a steady dose of ice and stretching after and before my runs, as well as throuout the day.
Today I got much more sleep, and will be nice and rested for my recovery run today. Such a weird phrase, but I had to use it.
