Notes
Mission accomplished BUT with pain on the foot. Today's foot pain was worse and less tolerable than two days ago. I do not know how this is going to evolve. I was up during the night again. Niggling and burning endlessly.
I did an easy pace for 4 first miles and at approx. 4.5 point mile I started strides. I did 8 X 40 at 90% effort and it was fine as it took my mind off the pain. I was running with pain but kept going. It somehow felt easier doing speed than going at an easier pace. I then did 4 X I min at same effort (90%) and finished last mile at a strong pace. So, from 4.5 mile point to 7 point mile I was doing faster work. I was proud of myself for fighting the demons and keep going. After my run foot was so bad that I could not press the pedal to drive back home. Then after my shower eased down a bit. Now time will tell. CS was very mild. The benefits of running less benefits CS. I am still waiting for the MRI for the legs. It is a matter of two weeks before this takes place.
So, now it is a pat on the back and go for the next challenge. All Good work so far. I felt good doing strides ........I always feel good with Strides as I have something to work towards and seeing the results of my work. I need this so much now.
