Week 10 Training

Wednesday July 23nd 2008
Leg felt good today but my legs themselves felt totally zonked through 9km. It was like I had raced a half marathon yesterday. Decided it was a sign to take it easy, ran out to the water fountain/museum along the Thames Valley Golf course trail and headed back along Oxford. Total time ~ 46 minutes Total Distance: 11 km

Leg (knee) felt surprisingly good today (aka it didn't hurt). It seems strange that it would just stop, so I am weary, but it is still pleasant news. Ran in the ran through a passing thunder storm, some really great lightning out. No face pace, just enjoyed the music and the rain.
Total Distance: 15 km (time 60 mins + "forgot to hit start at some point)

Easy run through High Park in Toronto with Deb. Knee didn't feel so good through 5km but slowly got better as things progressed. Better than it getting worse as I run I suppose. I didn't expect it to be like this after 2 days rest. Calves were also super soar and stride was short until 8km. Most likely attributed to my lack of cool-down on race day waiting in line for the massage.
Total Distance: 12km
